If we could eat different things, we could give up agriculture and save a bunch of land and energy.

Speaking of digesting random things, I found myself bored in the shoe section of some store (I wanna say Nordstroms), and I was curious if I could eat the leather shoes. Beef is beef, right? Apparently you cannot digest leather due to the chemicals involved in the curing process.

This was a recurring theme in Lucky Luke [1]. The titular hero cooks and eats his boots when he faces starvation, usually when he gets lost in the desert.
