I suppose I would have too, though I wouldn’t buy dog at the grocery. Our generations have C and K rats, MCIs and MREs, dog isn’t necessary. But your point about protein is well made, it’s a matter of necessity, and social mores. No matter how hungry, I doubt eating Patton’s Willy or Ikes scotty, name forgotten by me, would have been a safe option.
