Here’s a question I have never asked before;
are penguins edible for humans?
If they ever got that big (5ft10), that would be a lot of meat and a large pelt.
“are penguins edible for humans?”
That depends on how hungry you are.

I would expect they would taste like duck, although the breast would be whiter from non-flight. Imagine the egg size of the big’uns.
In that case, get the extra large tub of slaw.
Shackleton’s men ate plenty on Elephant Island.
And are humans edible for penguins?
Shackleton’s men survived on them.
Are you seriously asking if penguin meat might be toxic to humans?
I would be surprised to learn that penguin meat - or the meat of any bird or mammal - is actually poisonous.
To my recollection, the Platypus is the only mammal possessing venom glands - but even then, if you avoid the glands, and eat only the rest of the meat, you should have no problem.
The liver of Polar Bears contains high concentrations of Vitamin D, and humans who have not yet adapted to such a diet can suffer ill effects, and perhaps even die.
The meat of many mammals and birds is probably unpalatable, but - with only few exceptions - certainly edible.
