You wouldn’t believe the number of comments I’ve received lately suggesting that I should "just go to the grocery store" instead of harvesting my own food from the ocean or my backyard.

These women are treated like heroes by the people of their island because they support their families, they fish and harvest what they eat and provide in the most natural way possible.
