I realized that the vast majority of people have never heard of the terms \u201cwild food\u201d nor \u201cforaging\u201d in a modern context. I very quickly realized that my multiple choice response answers leaned to far in favor of people having already heard of foraging &#8212; I mean, even the biology majors I talked to had never considered it an option. So I approached gathering responses differently by initially asking whether or not they\u2019ve heard of foraging in a modern context. Out of the 20 people (15 TCNJ students in the AIMM building and the other 5 being friends who aren\u2019t involved in plants) I asked whether or not they\u2019ve heard of it, only 4 said that they\u2019d heard of people doing it but had never considered doing it themselves. The positive part of this is that despite having never heard of it, once introduced to the subject and shown the website intro 14 out of 20 people said that they would consider doing it themselves and all 20 said that they would consider eating something made with foraged ingredients if it seemed appetizing. What I largely learned from this process was that while people aren\u2019t familiar with the concept of foraging for your own greens, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, and spices, they\u2019re interested in learning more about it. Showing people the mockup of my intro page and having them give me feedback on the wording was helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you know about these terms?
