Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat - Part 2 : Chicken Boogaloo.

That is obviously not an ideal diet though. Very high in fat and protein. But the point was that it's not possible for a wolf to raise a human baby. They'd kill an animal and then rip it apart and eat it, fat, guts and all. The baby wouldn't be able to chew it or digest it properly.

Correct.
And a wolf would not lactate for over a year, when she's got cubs to feed. She is also not going to be pre-chewing anything...

Actually...they do. They bring meat back to the den they have eaten and regurgitate it for the pups. Pretty much all canines in the wild do this.

Also keep in mind that it is possible to survive up to three weeks without food, and if you're hungry enough you will eat pretty much anything. But that doesn't mean you should, or that you'd be getting all the necessary nutrients. For instance, eating bugs and grubs.

Bugs and grubs are among the most nutrient dense foods on Earth. There's tons of info out there on just how nutritious they truly are and more and more people are eating such things, even in the US. There are literally thousands upon thousands of pages out there on the net about the incredible nutrition to be found in insects and worms. Here are just a few and worthy of reading...I'd suggest it.

Bugs and grubs are actually pretty healthy compared to a lot of meats.

There's a gal at MSU in Bozeman who has been developing recipes with cricket flour as a viable option for inexpensive healthy food.

 

[Athaid]

Eh, interesting. Still, think I'll pass on the grubs.

Anyway, maybe not the best example. My point was that just because you can survive on a food doesn't mean you can thrive on it. If you were lost here by the shores, provided you had clean water to drink (which you could get from the spring) you could survive on eating seaweed and limpets/winkles. But you would definitely not get all the necessary nutrients, and would definitely have some kind of deficiency. Though, pretty much all of us are deficient in something.

One of my husband's co-workers brought BBQ mealworms and salt & vinegar crickets to work last week. DH tried the mealworms and said they weren't bad. In a survival situation, insects are a highly nutritious food source.

Uh...I forget, what was this thread about again?
