Hi Wade
Because in so many instances it is so in nature
If you gather mushrooms (I'm a forester), you need to have it all the time
in order to be able to eat it too. If you eat it all than you are out of
mushrooms in that area, and cannot eat it any longer.
I like to be a forester, because here it is so obvious that you only can
eat it, if you have it. And, with proper management, the more you eat, the
more you can have :)
You don't use it, you loose it, might be the saying
Joachim
