In an emergency, is it safe to eat the geese at my local park?

Geese? Emergencies? Maybe recipes?

I guess if one stayed away from the nervous system ......

I actually heard something the other day about people that have been practicing mortuary cannibalism (eating a piece of the dead person as a sign of respect) for many generations are actually resistant to prion diseases (same type of disease as mad cow) due to the consumption of other people. I assume that the people that were less resistant then became more dead people for everyone to snack on and so the more resistant got more and more resistant with each generation.

Does anyone have a good coyote recipe? I’d like to keep a recipe book in with my notes along with my 60,000 rounds of .22 ammunition.

We have the ability to maximize resources right now.

Take ONE of the following out of the equation and then rethink it. Electricity. Petroleum.

Now the worlds resources are now only within walking distance.

How many people are within walking distance of you right now. Is there enough food/water to feed everyone???

I live in a town of 400. There’s not enough resources here to care for everyone.

I’m not even touching on greed and power grabs.

I have about 50 within walking distance (comfortable walking distance. About 100 within 3 miles. Few thousand at about 11 miles).

As long as we stay at the 100 marker or less in my area, we would be fine if everyone could get along. Plenty of animals and farm knowledge to sustain. Only problem would be water.

So if I wanted to eat a goose from my local park.....would that be ok?

Oh, there would assuredly be chaos FOR A WHILE. But... Electricity is awfully new. It's not like Rome was just all "Oh, we have more than 30 people better collapse now". And it's not like it'd all be gone - removing all electricity with no opportunity to make more is silly. It's not like biofuel stops existing just because we stop having working power plants - we just have to change the scale.

People are remarkably good at organizing even without technology.

I know this has turned into a fun thread, but I studied abroad in college, and where I lived there were many people who had lived under an oppressive regime, and the old lady that owned the boarding house told us that when she was young there were no birds, cats, or dogs in the streets because people ate anything they could catch. I assume if a society ending situation happened, those fat geese would be the first to go because fat geese are easier to catch than pigeons. But I assume we would see the signs of that sort of situation happening, and we could just bump up our flock numbers instead of hunting geese with spears and rocks. I think the big problem would be people trying to steal our birds and eggs.

You sound like you’re about to go eat it for fun
