Each issue of Vegetarian Journal features an activist promoting veganism. In our latest column VRG Intern Emma Giebel interviewed Steven Brill.

“If you find yourself walking through New York City’s Central Park and notice a man eating the plants directly from their source, don’t be alarmed. That’s Steve Brill, also known as the Wildman, and he has been foraging for food in popular parks in the New York area for three decades.

Brill is a self-taught forager, having learned from textbooks, and wishes to spread his knowledge.

“I’d like to make whole-foods veganism and foraging more common,” he said.

He has been giving walking tours for years and has taught people of all ages about the benefits of a whole-foods vegan diet. On his tours, he offers guests samples of his vegan recipes that include the plants he expects he will find on that day. Whole-foods veganism, which means being a vegan that truly lives off the land to Brill, is one of the most important aspects of his life. He credits the diet and his passion for exercise as major contributors to his incredible health at the age of 70.”
