As for the simple life, its charms wear off fast. Many tourists have tramped around Walden Pond snapping photos, but few would take seriously what Thoreau would probably advise today: to throw away our BlackBerrys and start growing real berries.

My understanding is that Thoreau did not have a kitchen in his place at Walden Pond and actually trudged the couple of miles (not very far, really) into town each day to eat at the pub or his mothers house. Not to take away from his writings, I just found that interesting.
