Oh come on. You have to think about the worst case scenario. Food is a major freakin concern if you can't or don't get rescued. Even I'll be sacrificing my principles. I don't consider rats and maggots to be an option for my every day menu, but if I'm hungry enough, goddamnit I'm going to eat rats and maggots.
