Lots of animals we eat have diets that we’d find disgusting. It’s not like the bacon is going to taste like shit, or have shit in it, because that was the pigs ate. ---

[quote=“Skywatcher, post:189, topic:776309, full:true”] > [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > And supposedly so blind that he has to feel around a strange car to find the passenger seat. He’s said before that he gradually went blind over time, which makes sense. I also don’t really see how one would prevent the other: all it means is that he may need someone who helps him procure items. I’m just not a huge fan of going after him on this one issue. It feels a lot like when people would assume that I had always been sick. YMMV, of course. ---

Yes, to be fair to @jtur88 - animals eating what we would consider waste product is not uncommon. ---

It’s a chicken and egg thing if the chicken is eating the eggs it lays, after those eggs are rotten, which then causes the chicken to contract some disease which causes it to lay eggs that come out rotten immediately. ---
