What a great writeup! You’re thinking like someone with sound grasp of logistics and supply chains. My model is more based around opportunism and necessity. Consider the Lionfish. Extremely invasive, tastes phenomenally. People started eating them as a culling mechanism, and has had great success.

If there’s too much of anything around us, if people just get over their subjective cultural prejudices and start eating those things, that’s one of the best ways to keep populations in control.

Granted, I am more inclined towards a practical form of culture and cuisine where laws are less important than just a general acceptance of daily realities, but I get where you’re coming from.
