Would you eat this because of inflation?

Prices of rat meat has quadrupled in Cambodia. People are eating rat meat because the can't afford to buy beef, pork or chicken anymore. This is crazy! I'd rather be a vegetarian. What do you guys think? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080827/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_cambodia_rats

Actually, as long as there was nothing wrong with the meat I'd try it. "Try anything once"...though rats are cute, and some people find them creepy, there's only a few things it'd gross me out to eat; bugs, shrimp, and amphibeans. Rodents -- meh, we eat rabbit sometimes don't we? I know rabbits aren't rodents but they have habits and lifestyles similiar to them, so... However, that story is crazy. When the economy starts on a rickety path people are often forced to do things to survive that they'd rather not do. But you know...if you're hungry and that's all you can afford...
