Farm Animal Feed As An Emergency Human Food Source?

[Stomper]

But haven't you heard or read... A horse is a cow, is a goat, is a sheep, is a fish, is a monkey, is a boy... Yeah, not!!!

All social constructs.... I'm triggered.

You guys go ahead and eat their food. I'll eat them so they don't need it.

Don't knock "exotic" meat until you're starving....

I think if things ever got to bad id have to eat animal feed, id just eat the neighbors

 

[MannyGlocks]

Yep, and it'll happen, as it does....worldwide when the motivation is just right...

Hmmm, long pig, my favorite and Jeffries too....

When the looting starts, check in with my neighbors, fire up the grill and tell my Lady 'See, I told you!'

You want to have all your Christmas shopping done long before the looting starts.

What used to be Purina Monkey Chow. The esteemed late Dr. Jerry Pournelle ate it every Saturday when in U Dub grad school when the GI Bill was very screwed up...

People who have not eaten weird sh!t are in for a rude awakening when push comes to shove. I'd take the grain I use to feed my pigs over what is coming.

This very topic came up last weekend between myself and my daughter (she about to have her first) and I laid it out what is what, again.

Interesting tangent concerning "odd" foods. I've eaten, even enjoyed, some unusual stuff. A few that comes to mind:

• Chapulines. A Mexican dish. Cleaned, seasoned, and roasted grasshoppers. Not bad. Not super good either. Could see doing again.
  
• Squid, in so many dishes: fried calamari, calamari "steaks", and squid chowder are a few good ones.
• Pulpo con patatas. It is a Catalan dishes of octopus and potatoes, which is quite good, imho. A variant I've made is octopus chowder (recipe here). (I only make it when the wife is a way because she will not countenance said while at the home. And she will be gone next week so ... teehee.)
  
• Horse meat. Meh, had it a few times, don't know why Europeans are into it. But if I was starving, hell yah, it would be great. While things are hunky-dory and I can buy steak, so why, even if I could. ("Fun" fact, it is now illegal in Oregon, as a bill passed a few years back.)
• Goose liver pate. Nice snack with the cocktails.
• Frogs legs. Meh, it is what it is. Had it once and that was about it.
• Steak tartare. Involves raw meat. Alas, most restaurants won't prepare it due to liability reasons. Couple times I had it was fantastic.

And I'm sure plenty I've forgotten. Good thing our species is an omnivore; it helps us survive.

I figured we were talking after that fact, otherwise duh.

Well, since nobody specifically said it I didn't want to assume.

Bizarre, because his comedy routine is painfully clean, though hilarious. Oh well.

I happen to be at work and certain people have been apparently abusing internet privileges.

Probably abusing themselves too.

Oh, you have no idea....
