I’m trying to resolve an argument.

EDIT: Yes, you can. But you can’t digest it. The only edible parts of a tree are some specific types of tree bark. Thanks, everyone!

    If something is part edible and part not, then it really depends on the nature of that not edible bit. If it’s inert, then great. If it’s not, then you could be kinda fucked.

    The fact that something is 45% edible says precisely nothing about whether or not it is edible.

      I never said otherwise (nor argued that all wood was edible in its entirety), but your comparison was still a bad one.

        You think a mercury sandwich isn’t a realistic representation of wood.

        Wow, you know, after careful consideration I think you may be right. Thanks for your wisdom. Truly enlightening.

        I’ll go eat some wood.
