      FOOD LAW GONE WILD: THE LAW OF
                         FORAGING

                         Baylen J Linnekin*

   I tend to believe that most laws limiting foraging manifest a
conscious or unconscious racial or class bias, although not everyone
agrees with me.
                                           -Professor Karl Jacoby
