VERY, but then there is plenty of other stuff to eat around here, none of us are living in the Andes!
i'd rather eat a rat than some of this GMO chemical commercial crap. a rat is just another animal trying to stay alive.

some nice sized rats near me, wild though not dirty city type, beautiful mottled brown coats on them.
we've got a wooded copse near us about an acre or two spread out so there's blackberry and all sorts of stuff.
Well for now, that'd disappear quick after an event I think.
Still good for firewood and such.

Amazing, you wonder what goes through a guys head when dealing with something like that.....other than food, of course!
For those who haven't seen it, the football team who survived is portrayed in a film called "Alive", think I only paid a couple of squid 2nd hand on Amazon.

I have a very low gag factor, so I would have to be seriuosly out of my mind to do that.

good on him , he is alive and well a lesson for us all .

three weeks with out food ,and your body helps. they say your gag reflex stops after three weeks or less with out food ,so it makes it easy to eat protein (rats and bugs and the like)

Honestly I'd eat Rat, mice, bugs and probably chow down on a pint of maggots if it meant me staying alive.

I've eaten squirrels, not a lot of difference. Tasty too.
