        I’d say we eat almost everything. Aside from deep sea creatures, which are basically impossible to harvest for food, we tend to stay away from heavy poisonous species like the blue ringed octopus, poison arrow frogs, cone snails. But other than those pretty much anything goes.

          I agree with you, but just to be that person:

          To know something is poisonous, somebody had to have eaten it at least once.

            Now do the math on how many people had to eat blowfish to figure out how to safely prepare it.

          Some things surely also just taste like shit, so we don’t eat those either. I’m just assuming, but, I can imagine.
