It's different if you're literally starving though. Are you saying if you had no food you WOULDN'T eat grass? Or the drywall and wood that makes your home? Or some holy relic in the center of the city made out of food? Maybe if you're starving you can't be a picky eater.

Aside from fibre, at least. You'd be pooping pretty well, but you'd still starve to death.

according to some, fiber isn't actually a nutrient because it isn't digested by the body

tbh those people are idiots that need to understand prebiotics

That's beside the point. If you're starving, you'll eat whatever. Besides, this would be like starving because you didn't have access to gourmet foods. The gorons liked the rocks in the dungeon best, that doesn't mean they couldn't just eat other rocks.

You'll still be starving since you wouldn't have any nutrients to absorb.

Why restrict it to grass and drywall then? Would you eat metal? Plastic? Your phone? Some random rocks?

You probably wouldn't (and if you did, you're an idiot). You can't just put anything in your stomach and expect your body to extract sustenance from it - humans lack the ability to digest those things and absorb nutrients from them. You'd go from starving to starving with an upset stomach (I.E. starving even faster if it results in vomiting).

Clearly, none of you have ever been starving. Putting anything in your stomach to try and dull the pain is better than dying malnourished and on an empty stomach. You'd all resort to cannibalism after a week without food. Besides, the Gorons could get nutrients from rocks (or didn't need nutrients or whatever, they ate rocks) meaning that they could eat whatever the Goron equivalent of drywall is.

No, it's not better at all. Rocks or metal in your stomach is going to be very painful, more painful than if you ate nothing at all.

Cannibalism isn't the same as eating rocks or metal. Human flesh is food. It's meat.

Also, you're not going to be starving that much after only one week with no food. Sure you will hungry as hell, but not starving. It takes well over a month to actually starve to death.

It won't keep them from dying but it will help alleviate hunger pains.

He's not wrong. Human meat lacks essential amino acids (if we could produce them ourselves, they'd be in our meat), so it's not a viable staple protein for a long-term basis, but it's still very much food. Just not food that you can legally or morally obtain.

It provides a mechanical sensation of fullness (esophageal and stomach stretching) while being completely edible. Eating ice does not qualify as pica, despite the lack of nutrition.

Desirable, sure, but you're trying to say that indiscriminately eating inedible material to feel mechanically full is reasonable behaviour.

Nade Duck posted...
i'm not saying i'm down with cannibalism but i'd probably give it a go once just to try it.


Given a chance, I'd try it, but the problem is that trying human meat requires one of the following to happen:

1. I kill a person and eat them
2. Somebody else kills (or dismembers) a person and I eat (part of) them
3. A person dies (or loses a limb) due to natural causes and I eat (part of) them
4. A person voluntarily dismembers themselves and I eat part of them

#1's obviously bad, and I would not have their consent to eat them. In case #2, I'm unlikely to be able to acquire consent to eat them immediately before their death (and I don't think prior consent is really sufficient here). In case #3, I could potentially acquire consent, but the cause of death/dismemberment makes it unlikely that eating them will be healthy. In case #4, the tissue's healthy and I'd have consent, but that scenario would be cause for questioning their mental health, meaning that consent would not be competently given.

It's not just something that I see being possible to do safely and consensually.
