Trust me, my grandma ate every piece of a rabbit, kidneys heart, lungs, including the brain she cracked out of it's skull.
There's no such thing as picky eaters in a real SHTF situation..

Very true. If it is a true SHTF situation you wouldn't be able to find a stray dog or cat much less a rat roaming the streets.
In the Battle of Stalingrad people were eating shoe leather and boiling wallpaper to extract the hide glue for consumption. They say the sense of smell gets so heightened after prolonged hunger it may be practical to not even cook for fear of attracting crowds.
People can go 1-2 weeks of no food with no real ill effects. After that, once you are 30 - 45 days in things start to get ugly real quick.
