I once told a Vegan that if he got hungry enough he would eat anything, including a Cockroach. He was highly offended.

People with full Stomachs are easily offended and appear to be very civilized.

People with empty Stomachs are too hungry to be offended and will do anything to survive, even if it's uncivilized.

There's a TV quote Kartographer puts in prepper threads that needs to be here, in response to that:

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Siege of AR-558 (#7.8) (1998)

Quark: "Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don’t believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes."

“People with full Stomachs are easily offended and appear to be very civilized.”

Agreed. What is a salad but a “Vegetable Innovation.” The veggies get all cut up and mixed together.

I think many on this board are a bit spoiled.

When you lived on the farm, you used the hoof to the horn for something. They ate the brain. The intestines. They made blood sausage. Now we need only intact cuts of muscle?
