    Out of curiosity, how do you feel about eggs?  Or, for that matter, 
eating the flesh of a mammal?

    Our distinctions between edible and not are fairly arbitrary.  It's 
okay to eat mammals, but not smart ones ( no dog, cat, horse, monkey, etc 
).  Most air and land creatures who scavenge for food are generally 
off-limits ( rats, pidgeons, etc ) but aquatic scavengers tend to be 
a delicacy ( crab, lobster ).

    Seems like you can gross yourself out thinking about the origin of most 
foods ( ewww, potatos grow in the first with bugs and worms!  Honey is 
regurgitated bee puke!! ), but I find most of them tasty anyway.
