How many people really hunt and fish for food? Some people might eat what
they catch or shoot but for most it's still entertainment. I like to fish and
I eat lots of what I catch but I would be lying if I said that fishing is
really more than entertainment. In that line of thinking collecting is just
as important (or unimportant) as fishing.
