That is not an equivalent comparison. We eat grapes, we do not eat 34kg of corn husk and waste product.

Vegetarian animals do.

I'll eat them.

That argument is too dumb to consider countering. Go through history and re learn how people used to survive.

They didn't survive on corn husk.

Well, you cant survive on any one single food item either. So that argument is moot.

Strawman. There was never an implication of this or any other food stuff being a sole source of dietary sustenance. That said, you can live on meat products with little to no health issues as a result. My point is clear, that it is natural to say that you would eat an apple, it is not natural to say you would eat the tree.

You're being pedantic, and intentionally missing my point. You suggest that I should learn history and how people survived, I respectfully rejected your proposal based on the obvious, that corn husk is not a survival food, nor is there evidence that humans historicaly survived by eating kilos of leftover corn husk. I never said anything about corn husk being a sole source of nutrition, but if I did so, I would stand by corn husk being garbage and insufficient to survive on as even a fraction of our diet.
