Fully agree it's a re-education issue but most of those that would benefit the greatest either think they dont have the time, and lack the inclination, or the area to grow a meaningful amount of food.
Allotments and community gardens are one way the lack of land is addressed in the UK.
As to jucy little pests, most people will never hunt nor would you want some of them to but they may be interested in eating someone else's catch. After the "gruesome insides out, outsides off" bit has been done and it been nicely sliced up for presentation.
Anyone can sell vegetables but meat and fish that's a big mpi food safety hurdle to overcome.
Giving or donating it as the wapiti foundation did skirts the edges of the regulations.
I wholeheartedly agree with her sentiments and she is in a position of privilege (own farm) to be able to do that so are quite a few on here. But for the bulk of the great unwashed purchase via commercial channels is the only option available, and the only way of using meaningful amounts. Then it probably won't be long before some enterprising outfit starts farming rabbits for example as its much easier to obtain a regular supply that way.
