A well-known survival expert, ex-special forces type said that the difference between what people will eat, and what they won't eat....is about 24 hours. Having said that, I wouldn't do it unless I had to to survive. I do have a fishing buddy who recently did a backcountry trip on which he consumed a black rat snake. But he's also a Bronze Star veteran of Afghanistan. The thing I don't understand is, he posted pics of lots of wild trout he caught on the same trip. No thanks.

I remember a few years ago that 60 Minutes aired some secret video smuggled out of North Korea, which is now apparently devoid of most wildlife, birds, any small rodent, even insects, because the people are starving. I think Jong Il spent all the money he extorted from us on his military.
