The level of disconnect was really startling when I was out in the New Forest and one kid started whistling to a Red Deer and thinking it would come to him like an obedient dog!<br /><br />Since having a daughter I do my upmost to get her out into the wild... although we have very little truly wild places here in the UK.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202243484977621284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734462636905794264.post-15787622356900195922018-07-02T23:28:34.592+09:002018-07-02T23:28:34.592+09:00Amen.

I agree wit...Good to see you writing again Shigeru. I agree with what you're saying, it's a tough balance.<br /><br />In the west there's a real disconnect between people and their food. I've had people look at me crazy here in Italy when I've told them I prefer to hunt or grow all of my own food. They think it's barbaric to hunt, and morally superior to swipe a credit card to pay for some chicken that lived in a cage it's whole life and was eventually slaughtered and prepared by a factory farm. It's a strange dissonance, I don't know if you experience the same thing in Japan or not though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769659387142353363noreply@blogger.com
