how often can this happen once in a life time?

Species who evolved on the temperate climates do but it is not what
they
favor and it is not a main source of foods
The humans ocupation of thoses regions are not so old

all those things are very much self limited  and regulated for the
other
species ,only humans have a capacity now to make it a way of life.
How much
mixing can you pratically do without a salad bowl?
. I personally at time mix diferrent greens while harvesting them  but
basicaly without the use of seasonning it is very much limited and
when i
enjoy arugula i take the time to harvest only that, leave by leave (
humans
have an amazing tool to do that , their hands)  despite that all my
greens
are growing together. I saw horses doing the same , sorting out grass
when
they want clover( their lips are amazing of ability to do that )

Note on the instincto sequence it is not necessarely a way of life but
an
important tool to reappropriate the instinctive response to foods, and
it is
the most aproximate model of natural food intake that i know. for all
species . Animals travel a lot to look for a special source of food.
Here
when i walk thru the woods there is one place and time  for nettles ,
one
for miners lettuce , and one for Pigeon ( today i stole a pigeon that
a crow
was killing by pushing it in the water, he was eating it alive ,i had
to
kill it , my all focus was on the pigeon and had no interest to catch
a crab
that i saw  going by or harvesting oysters that were there too. )

Instinctive approach is the antithesis of litteral interpretation of
the
guidelines.
