Answer 2

Trees are edible. Not only are trees the source of fruit which everyone loves, but most tree have other edible parts. Maples, Sweet gums, and Birches make incredible syrup. Birch sap can be used to make a drink not too different from Root beer, plus sweet birch is actually the source of most of the Wintergreen flavoring in the world.
Most conifers (needle trees) are rich in Vitamin C. Spruce being one of the best. Gum rich in flavor can be made from the dried sap of the Spruce and Sweet gum trees. Flour can be made from the inner bark of almost all the conifers as well as Acorns from the Oak tree and the Pollen from most of the soft woods that have catkins.
There is also Pine nuts and Juniper Berries which often flavor Mediterranean dishes. Juniper Berries are the essential ingredient in making Gin.

This is just a small sampling of how trees are edible. There are also a variety of Teas and Medicines that can be made from them as well. The trees I used as examples are just some North American varieties there are others from around the world, and yes I eat trees and other wild edibles every chance I get.

My friends poke fun at me for eating bits of whatever landscape I walk through- but I don't care; they miss all the tasty flora. There are several trees in the mountains where I live now which are edible. I mean, the safrole is mainly concentrated in the roots- which I don't eat- and it's only mildly carcinogenic! Shady plants aside... a lot of trees taste pretty good. Cinnamon (or sometimes Cassia) is tree bark; most common fruits are from trees; some roots are good too; maple syrup is tree sap...

But, to answer your question: yes. If trees were in fact giant Dacus carota, my section of the country would look mighty sparse of anything taller than a juniper bush (bits of which are edible as well).

Answer 4

A point of interest. Sawdust used to be widely used in butcher shops. The butchers used the sawdust to soak up th blood from the meat. They also used the sawdust to cut ground pork and beef. This way 1 pond of ground meat would produce up to to pounds of hamburger (beefburger). this practice has not been allowed in the U.S>A and Canada for quite a few years.

Trees are edible - you may have eaten them in your hamburger.

Answer 5

If people could eat leaves and graze on their front lawns why would they bother going to work? What would they need the money for? But to answer your question more directly I think I would eat leaves or grass if they were not only edible but also extremely tasty and nutritious.
