Steve Brill Tour In Central Park *EXTRA CREDIT*

While going on a tour in Central Park with Steve brill, New York's naturalist, i felt like a new me. I decides to share this education life experience with my best friend and 6 year old nephew. I wasn't able to hear the names he called out about each plant but the ones i do like is those that make tea, Garlic and violets and those that have a lemon taste. Everyone had a good time and learned a lot. But while walking through the park and eating the food, i felt like that is the way it's suppose to be. My nephew was skeptical about eating some because he has become adopted to the industrialized food, food from supermarkets or restaurants. In reality this is where our food comes from. We have the resources in our city with out even knowing it. The city doesn't say anything about it on the news, telling people that there are plants that can cure sicknesses in central park. So i took advantage of this trip taking note of where they plants i like and need, are from.

He told a story about being arrested while giving a tour, which meant what he was doing was illegal. I guess that stuck out the most to me because it demonstrates how society does not want others to eat anything natural. We must eat what is industrialized because that's they way it goes. Basically it is under the law to eat natural food in New York because it can effect the economy worst then ever. Many fast food restaurants that profit off of unhealthy fatty industrialized food will not be in the making. There would be a lot of less businesses. This event demonstrated how society has little where abouts about the environment and processed foods.
