I beg to differ with them... arctic peoples, when they killed a caribou or other grazing animal, used to and perhaps still do eat the stomach contents of those animals. The reason? Apparently because someone earlier in prehistory dared to try it and found the stuff kept him or her alive. The animals grazed on moss and lichen and when it's partially digested it it is a rich source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C, not otherwise easy to come by in cold parts of the world.
