Simple doesn’t mean it’s easy or without risk

[seadan83]

Indeed. I really would want my questions answered.

I believe noting that simple is not easy was my point already: "While "simple", that does not equate to abundant nor easy"

Which goes to my other point - getting food on your own is hard. Doing so in the winter is even more difficult. Hence, calorie deficits was a serious problem for many.

No argument - simple doesn’t mean easy. When the food runs out, only the the most fit (or ruthless) survive.
