People here marvel the Native Americans used to use “every part of a buffalo,” in order to condemn modern society, of course. But back a hundred years ago, EVERY culture did that. Its because they were poor. Our squeamishness comes from our wealth.

That is a true statement...My father was born in 1901 on a farm in the Michigan thumb....He loved to eat chicken feet and pickled pigs feet....You used every part of any animal you slaughtered....

Not sure if I am remembering correctly but I think even the brain was used in tanning hides...
