If you want to find out if something is edible, find a dumb person and tell him: "Hey Joe! That red mushroom with those white dots looks delicious! Try taking a bite out of it!". If Joe than falls over and dies, you know you have to avoid it.
You feel hungry. You try to find something that will keep you full. When you do find something that appeals to you, you eat. If you live, you tell the tale.
