Exactly ..... dying of hunger will lead to whatever you can do to
survive.  I think in most cases, these were settlers who had already
died, they did not kill them to eat them.  They themselves would have
died had they not done what they had to do.  I don't fault them except
for the guy mentioned in the presentation who did kill his wife to eat
her - he himself was killed for what he did!
