Strawberries

I just decided to make myself a bowl of yogurt+granola+strawberries, and I noticed 4-5 of the strawberries had spots of mold on them.

“DAMN YOU, DRISCOLL’S!”

was my immediate reaction. However, on reflection I realized that everything is as it should be.

After all, does the cheetah eat the entire every gazelle before the entire herd “goes bad”? No, she picks off the old and the weak, as needed. It is nature’s way.

Therefore, should you see a moldy fruit, do not despair. Rejoice that you have been given easy prey. And remember that in thinning the herd, you are performing a vital role for the health of the ecosystem.

However: be vigilant! If you do not hunt regularly, sickness can spread, and a valuable source of food may be lost.
