Sociology question.

If there is a tornado, you have no food and there is a cat with a sign that says eat me, what will you do?

Keep the cat as a pet.

Well in most oriental countries, most westerner's domestic pets are edible, and some meats that aren't allowed in the U.S. is a delicacy to other countries..

Tornadoes rarely last that long. They move quite quick. Assuming I was trapped I would eat it. Otherwise I would go for a couple hours with no food.

If its "eat or die", I would obviously eat it. Its just an animal.

Tornadoes last on average 8 minutes. Why would I need to eat anything during a tornado?

Thank god I'm not the only logical person here. Even if you were trapped help would arrive in a day or two TOPS. You would be fine with no food.

i would throw the cat in the tornado

I assumed "tornado" was just a bad choice for a natural disaster.
"What would you do if you couldn't eat for 10 minutes" isn't much of a philosophical question.
