Big fan of the "eat the invaders" movement. Kudzu leaves, roots, flowers and vine tips are all very common ingredients in dishes in SE Asia where its native. Some invasive seaweed species can be a rare vegan source of omega-3s and are quite edible. Asian carp can be a great dish. Dandelion greens are some of the most delicious greens I've ever tried

Lobster, escargot, and many other foods were looked at with disgust once. Brassica oleracea is basically a weed that humans eventually decided to cultivate to give us broccoli, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and much more

If we can just be a LITTLE more open minded about our diets we could really adapt to the new ecosystems we're creating

Don't forget locusts. People used to catch them in nets by the dozens when they descended on crops and fry them.

Unfortunately, pesticide use may make them too toxic to eat now:

Snakeheads too are great to eat. Just don’t let them out of your sight while alive.

> “eat the invaders”

I really want to like this idea, but then there’s murder hornets.
