Im sure you wouldnt be close to starvation if you have just eaten those the "UGH, disgusting little maggots!" this allowing time to later be shi**ing and vomiting.

Sorry had to say it haha

Well, I, personaly, wouldn't vomit with maggots, I ate them already IRL and they are nothing special, when fried they taste like fries. It is only that you know what you are eating when you see what you are eating. If you wouldn't know it, you wouldn't even notice a difference to fries.

I would frie them first though...This wouldn't be an issue as Max allways carries a fuel can (or at least he should) ;-)

Eating fried maggots is totally different from eating maggots which have been festering inside a human corpse, even if you fry them you're still eating some small amounts of rotten flesh.

No it doesn't..believe me :-)

Why do you think it is known that survivers in the ocean dying of thirst will always as an act of despair drink salty water although we all know in our brains that saly water won't kill thirst but even makes it worse?

this comparison is wrong on many levels)

you CAN drink salty liquids, and some find it pleasant (drinking leftovers of marinadet cucumbers, tomatoes etc), but rot is rot. again I'm not talking about pure maggots, I'm talking about taking them out of a rotting corpse.

Sorry but someone who in such situation drinks salty water eventhough the information that saly water will not kill your thirst is saved in all our brains, has nothing to do with "some ppl even like salty drinks..lets all drink a healthy smoothie!" but has to do with an act of despair, and for this, the comparation is right in every way ;-)

Eating the in game maggots is only one step removed from cannibalism. All the maggots in the game are feeding on human corpses.

Dinki-di is no longer produced, so as time passes, it becomes a rarer commodity. Still, I'd feel more comfortable and civilized eating canned dog food than raw maggots.

I'd save the dog food for special occasions and McFeasts, COOKED maggots in between.

This!

In an act of despair humans will eat maggot, dog food and will be even able AND willing to do much worse and for some unimaginable things than eating maggots. It is only a question of level of despair (which may vary a bit from person to person

No, it isn't. :)

Yes Max eats people, because the maggots are full of human being they ate, and when eating the maggots, Max eats the human being. We should be able to just cut out the middle man errrr maggot and eat the human being.

The maggots have NOT fuly digested the human being so Max is eating people. Thats a fact, so we should just be able to eat people because Max is already eating people in game anyways.

He didn't ask if it was technically cannibalism, he asked if it was *considered* cannibalism. The fact is that in most cultures directly eating the flesh of another human is considered taboo, but eating it coincidentally through an intermediary is not.

Just like when you eat shrimp that hasn't been "deveigned" - you are "considered" to be eating shrimp, not zooplankton.

..or Cow s*hit that fertilized the tasty vegetables that you eat and eventhough noone says they eat cow s*hit :-)

I mean that your body will not directly deny what you're trying to put into it. Your mind will tell you 'this is wrong, but ok whatever you say', but in case of rot you have your reflexes literally pushing it out of your body

You can eat those maggots. I'm currently eating tasty blood pancakes with some lingonberry jam.

there should be an unlockable skill to eat the people which is more suitable than eating maggots which are rife with disease and other parasites.

Never tried maggots, but have had silkworm when I was in China last. Really nice- very like prawns- although first time round it was a case of close your eyes and not think of it.

The Dinki-Di reminded me of a guy who used to love eating everyone elses food at college. We got fed up and made a kitekat pie (catfood)- sure enough, he had it. we told him after, I think he spent about 20 mins in th etoilet throwing up. Made my day:)

But back to maggots- they only eat dead flesh, so I suppose that the good would stay where it was. Mind, given the state of those bodies, its surprising that they still manage to remain solid. More like maggots a la intestine soup maybe?

That's the last thing you want to do in survival
maggots are extremely unsafe to eat
you'd be better off just eating feces and rotting meat (cause thats what well fed maggots usually consist of)

risk of food poisoning or disease is extremely high
even if its just food poisoning in extreme conditions like in Mad max where its hot and water is very scarce that can lead to quick dehydration and death.

grubs actually are a lot safer to eat even raw.
maggots - nuh uh

Also to people saying its safe to eat maggots that havent feasted on rotting flesh
well thats impossible cause thats all they eat and they need to eat rotting flesh a lot to grow and develop. Have you seen maggot wound treatment they will eat the dead decaying tissue but never touch the healthy tissue.

Nature designed them that way.

So yea good luck surviving on maggots.
