Some people are underprivileged and grow up in inner city neighborhoods where they have no access to reliable transportation to wilderness areas or even urban greenspace. It’s not always a “touch grass” situation.
Me, I grew up eating dirt and berries that I was pretty sure weren’t poisonous. I didn’t believe in washing my hands too much because I thought it would weaken my immune system.
The thing is, being familiar with nature didn’t help me navigate social situations. Someone who grew up in a city and has never seen a real forest is probably wayyy better adjusted and socially-integrated than I’ll ever be…

I’ll have you know that my friend at the ACME chocolate milk factory, Willie, swore to me that only brown cows can be used for production. He swore this over a stack of Spider-Man comics, so this is convincing and compelling evidence. Please retract your assertion good sir!!!
