  1. Rat in Vietnam was nice, it tasted like chicken. Roasted Tarantula in Cambodia pretty sure it was basically charcoal... Kangaroo in Australia, kinda bad, really tough meat
  2. That's only a development in the last 10.000 years since Homo Sapiens started settling down and forming complex communities. Our ancestors were definitely eaten and hunted by all kinds of animals. Snakes, lions, hyenas, tigers, everything that used to live in Australia, Wild Boars, dogs, to name a few. We've only been on top of the food chain for 10.000 something years. Animals in the wild generally only eat when they are hungry. Depending on how desperate they are they will go for a bigger prey such as perhaps a homo sapien. I think animals are intelligent enough to have a "favourite" type of food and in the past that may have been homo sapiens. It's just that we have such an insane grip on our environment especially in Western Europe / US coastal regions that predatory animals "learned" to stay away or die. For example in the 19th-20th century there were still tigers that preferred human flash in the forests of India. The Jungle Book's Share Khan (the tiger) is not just a fairy tale... The notion of thinking hmm food what will I have today is something that only came about the last 100-200 years. Before it was still very much all about eating whatever was on your plate (if anything at all). The fact that our generation just eats whenever and whatever we want is I think one of the greatest and least recognized privileges of the late 20th/ early 21st century. Basically what Stewie says is right. But you have to also realize that we eat WAY more food than we ever did in the past. We didn't evolve for the amount of food we consume today and that shows. Everything about our modern food is made to make us fat and strong so we can work hard and efficiently.
