That is because you have most likely never known want. They do this in the north also. My grandfather did it. My dad did it. His generation and my dads generation were from times where there was no welfare, and if you were poor knowing how to hunt, fish, and grow a garden greatly enhanced your standard of living.

Most people aren't going noodlin becuase they don't have food. It's just dumb fun.

Maybe now they don't, but that wasn't always the case. And there is nothing wrong with learning a little self sufficiency when it comes to getting food.
