HUMANS EAT EVERYBODY

It's amazing what we humans eat. There's animal ears, tails, tongues, hearts, lungs, kidneys, feet, claws, skin, even stomachs and eye balls.


As well as beef, lamb and chicken flesh people in various countries eat rats, mice, dogs, horses, rabbits, hares, frogs, deer, grasshoppers, ants, snakes, buffaloes, kangaroos and crocodiles. People even drink blood or eat it as a jelly.


Bird food includes sparrows, larks, emus and ducks. Insects include ants and witchery grubs. Fish food includes egg roe, whelks, cockles and eels.


It doesn't matter what part of the world you live in, you can be sure there's something weird around that people find acceptable dining. The list is long. There are many other menu items. It's been that way throughout history.


People have even eaten each other and it's rumoured that this still goes on in certain parts of the world.


Sometimes the taste comparisons between people are amusing. For example, Asian friends of mine who eat prawn heads, field mice and rats were totally shocked when I introduced them to black pudding. "Yucky", they screamed in horror. They found it disgusting yet for me it is as acceptable as bacon.


I'm not a total vegetarian but it still amazes me how we earth creatures eat each other, usually in the dead state and sometimes while still alive.


My point is that whatever you eat – whether it be another person, a mouse or a grasshopper – you need to count the calories. Calories in excess to your body's requirements means excess weight.
