> go eat spoiled meat right now anon, i'm not going to debate this with you. they would eat the spoiled meat, feel bad all night, and go back to being filthy peasants the next day. food poisoning was a basic fact of life back then for poors.  you can eat spoiled meat and there are ways to improve the safety of such a thing. people didn't used to just toss out their meat just because it smelled off. they'd boil it for a day or something and just eat it anyways and settle for basic toxin exposure as opposed to getting a stomach bug. you don't even understand the chemical processes happening in rotten food do you? you understand why rotted food is dangerous right? bacteria and the toxins they create. you can boil or burn a lot of that away. more spiced? less gross, easier to keep down long enough to get satiated and avoid starvation.
