Marlo Morgan's Mutant Down Under

Mutant Down Under written by Marlo Morgan takes us to Australia and opens our eyes to different traditions, and rituals. In this book, Marlo tells a story of her experiences with a nomadic tribe called the Aboriginals. The Aboriginals have a deep understanding and relationship with nature. Each of their practices demonstrate there robust relationship with nature and their environment. The Aboriginals is a group that America could definitely learn from.
In the book she talked about meals she shared with the group that was composed of worms wrapped in leaves that were cooked over a fire. Worms and leaves come straight from nature. Nothing is being produced that would bring harm to the environment. Growing up in a society where basically

Although I find eating worms completely disgusting I think that it is a good idea because of how great it is for the environment. Insects can be produced more sustainably and with a much smaller ecological footprint than vertebrate livestock. They are very efficient at transforming a wide variety of organic matter into edible body mass. For example, cows consume eight grams of feed to gain 1 gram in weight. On the other hand Insects can require less than two grams of feed for the same weight gain. This is mainly because insects are poikilothermic, or “cold-blooded,” which mean they use less energy to maintain body temperature. This in result reduces the amount of animal feed needed to generate the same amount of “meat,” saving a large amount of water that is used for irrigation; saving the area of land dedicated to growing food for livestock; and saving the use of pesticides that can be expensive, harmful to the environment, and pose a risk to humans health.

The Aboriginal people prayed to the earth for food that will give them strength to live. The earth provides us with exactly what we need to be nourished so all of our processed food is unneeded. I do however feel that we have over populated our space and maybe the idea of the entire population eating completely natural is ridiculous and
