They're an evolutionary survival tactic. If a food source turns
bad, at least some will survive and the village/tribe continues.

Even sillier than you usually manage.

Food sources don't turn bad in the sense that they
start killing people when they didn't previously.

Lol, ergotism anybody? Dodgy meat/fish etc.

And if you meant crop failure, it makes much
more sense to have evolved to be able to eat
almost anything and that is what humans have
done and we have seen people eat almost
anything when the **** hits the fan spectacularly
like it has in North Korea etc at times.

people do eat anything when sufficienly hungry.
