Something I've noticed when reading about people in history or even more modern indigenous people is that the clear distinction between "food" and "medicine" seems very new and peculiar to our time & culture. It's obviously a useful differentiation a lot of the time, but not always and at least sometimes it seems useful to not apply it.
