16. It often IS necessary. Learning to swim isn't necessary, but it might save your life.

The Inuit and Sami find consuming animals necessary. and many would agree with them. Some people even harvest and consume ant larvae.

How do you think Kiviak was invented?

I'll bet it was because some hunter scored on a bunch of little auks and was going to bring them back to camp when he got eaten buy a polar bear. So his camp ran out of food in the middle of winter and were going to die when they ran across his seal skin full of little birds that were now fermented. But they didn't bother to pluck or cook those little suckers. They just tore into them because those people were about to die. And it was the best damn meal the ever had, so they figured out how to do it again on purpose.

That's how cheese was invented. Spoiled milk that didn't kill you when you ate it.

I mean cheese isn't necessary either, but it's damn good grated on some pasta Bolognese.
