Crunkle_ForeskinCan you eat wood?
I'm trying to resolve an argument.

DessertStormsCellulose is an ingredient in a lot of foods, and some might call it wood pulp?
ThreeHalflingsWood is less than half cellulose by weight, so wood must be safe to easy.
This mercury sandwich is less than half bread by weight, so it must be safe to eat.
still at least part of wood though, a part that's edible, as far as I'm aware, mercury has none of those (adding the bread, and extra ingredient, is cheating).
If somrthig 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 somrthig 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.
