>>2457271yes, at one point they were eating pawpaws, but ran out and didn't find any more. still, if you are literally a raving, starving person, it is pretty crazy to choose to just die instead of eating a worm.
you do have a point about the decay stuff though, i would guess that a big reason people in the past didn't eat them is because bugs = le evil, unclean creatures that god doesn't want me to eat
i just created this thread because it's absurd to me that there are a bunch of free calories in the ground (that will keep you from starving) but so many people died anyway
