Agrarian legend


I missed the movie, but from what little I know about it, decided that Urban Legends must be about cities. This made me wonder about a parallel universe that might exist in rural areas. One possibility popped into my mind immediately. When food was dropped on the ground, the obvious first thing the consumer did, before continuing, was to brush off the dirt. Makes sense. If one was a bit reluctant, then came the injunction with the strength a verbal tick. "You have to eat a bushel of dirt before you die!" To me this always implied, "Better get started"
Now this makes me wonder, " Who is keeping track and how do we know when we have finished our share?"
