I thought the people owned the parks soI guess we get to pay for stuff but not get to use it. people have as much right to eat when hungry as animals who do not pay anything. not saying they should go out and start picking flowers and such but eating a dandelion or berries or fruit you find along the way (I guess you would have to be very hungry to eat some of the stuff in thewoods)I see nothing wrong with that.
