I wasn't aware of this story. But with so much bad news recently it's lovely to be able to smile at some good news. It seems two indiginous boys lost in the Amazon rainforest for a month have been found. The boys have superficial injuries and are very weak, having not eaten for four week. But hopefully they should be fine.

They were heard by nearby tree cutters calling for help.

A good news story at last.
 
What's this good news doing in my doom scrolling forum?

Either incredibly lucky or they have some mad survival skills. There must be loads of stuff in there that can kill you.
 
That's surprisingly good new.

How can you not eat in a forest? It's literally full of food.
Lots of food, much of which can make you sick or kill you.
Unless you know what is safe to eat you may well be better not eating anything as you can survive weeks without food if you can stay hydrated, but if you eat the wrong thing you may get dehydrated/lose more than you gain..
