famously only the biggest strongest and most grown up of boys refuse to eat any of their vegetables
Cats have small intestinal tracks with meat-specific enzymes and a lack of the microbiome ruminants have to turn fiber into energy. They can only turn 10-40% of plant mass into usable calories vs. 70-90% of meat.
Humans, by contrast, have two major subdivions in the small intestine, the first for meat and the second for plants. But since we also lack the ruminant gut microbiome most "fiber" is still undigestible.
yep it's almost like humans are not obligate carnivores and are not meant to have the same diets as lions
Aww damn and I’ve been over here eating raw gazelle like a fucking idiot. How else am I supposed to get beach body ready?
It's also a dumb fucking comparison in the first place because people should absolutely not eat random grass.
But since we also lack the ruminant gut microbiome most “fiber” is still undigestible.
feels like shit imagine if we could make cheese from the stomachs of the deceased - I would gladly make some human cheese with someone's stomach instead of making a poor cow do it
yet another random piece of 40k lore that I will now spend 30 minutes reading into and understanding like 20% of before committing it to memory; never to be recalled again until I've long since forgotten where I heard/read about it and randomly remember it one day as I drive past a cow-field. I should get into warhammer................
I really like this one because it's over-the-top grimdark in a class conscious way. Corpseburgers are a very common food in the Imperium, especially for soldiers who spend so much time on the battlefield where most of them end up dead. There is also corpsestarch, which is basically Soylent Green.
For the poor in the Imperium, all of their meat intake is either recycled dead humans or captured rodents and bugs. But the rich still eat large animals, the most common of which is the Grox, a large lizard that is hardy enough to survive in almost any environment, nearly 100% edible, and fairly nutritious and tasty to boot.
CW: Mass Death
In one story (which might not be canon anymore but who cares), a shipment of Grox burgers intended for the uber rich gets sent to an Imperial Guard regiment by mistake. The burgers taste so much better than what the soldiers are used to eating, that upon the realization that they will never get to eat it again the entire regiment commits suicide together.
I know Corpse Starch has been referenced in a few of the books I have but Gut Cheese is new to me, and googling just brings 'WH40k Cheese strats" which is unsurprising.
Actually I don't think Gut Cheese is a thing, mainly because 40k's writers aren't creative enough to think of it, I said it because it definitely fits the setting.
This picture is really sad. It's also possible that that lion is being mistreated at a zoo or something.
The Chad hippo is way more fearless and dangerous than the virgin lion and eats grass all day.

My dogs like chocolate but they’re still not supposed to eat it. But then again, alcohol is technically a low grade neurotoxin and I love that shit so :shrug-outta-hecks:
Cats in the wild actually eat grass somewhat regularly, not for nutrition, but to help with digestion and deter parasites. House cats don't necessarily need to do this but may eat grass regardless instinctively.
i would literally rather die and have my soul tormented for eternity in the ninth circle of hell by the most depraved of satan's spawn than gaze upon a piece of lettuce
you can see the condition of this online still he is not going to touch grass
rather he chooses death
