I've always heard that it's not advised to eat these creatures
for all the reasons you cite. good points, esp. about their lower frequency. (not only in pH terms) There's a parallel there, with people eating a lot of fast food hamburgers and such junk. Considering the source of the "meat", and the apalling conditions these animals exist under, only to become McFood, their frequency is very low, too. If people in huge numbers eat this stuff, it keeps them literally 'dumbed down', and programmable at all levels, not to mention provides a huge pool of medical consumers, down the road.
