>>1929148Ken you're a fucking idiot. I'm sure plantain is great for fiber, vitamin, minerals and all that jazz, but there's no way in hell you can survive off of it. It's too fibrous and low in calories to live off of. You can die of starvation with a belly full of plantain leaves. You're not a cow, you need energy dense foods, meat, fat, starches.
Second of all, in terms of wild greens, there's a dozen other things out there I'd rather eat before plantain (nasty) try watercress, pokeweed, dock, even dandelions. I mean come on Ken, plantain is really the bottom of the barrel.
Their point, if your forest is filled with plantain, then you've got a really shitty forest. Plantain grows in disturbed and compacted soil, the opposite of what a healthy forest should be.
Come on Ken, do better.
