It's not about nutrition.
It's about harming women and children first.
I belong to a hunting and fishing club that once a year, every year, sponsors a controlled hunt where we seek out and destroy any member of the Endangered Species List. It is very competitive. Those little buggers are hard to find.
The winner (he who supplies the most pelts, heads, etc) gets to uncork a fifty-five gallon drum of light,sweet crude into our local water supply.
There is no such thing as a tough child.
If you par-boil them for five hours they come out quite tender.
