I know some freegans... they look sickly and generally unhealthy, and they seem to get food poisoning an awful lot... last week they offerred me some hamburger meat that was, in their words, "perfectly fine, once you remove the maggots"... then they tried to convince me that the presence of the maggots proved the meat was fine, since it didn't poison the maggots...
Aside from the fact I don't eat meat I agree I wouldn't be tempted. The maggots themselves, however, could be deep fat fried if you like exotic dishes. Maggots are now proving useful in disinfecting wounds in hospital patients and removing dead flesh.
