As a person who has eaten rat meat for decades, the answer to this question is yes. Rat meat can be eaten, but we should pay attention to the source and practice of rat meat. I ate mountain rat, including bamboo rats. My hometown is in the countryside. When I was a child, my family was poor and I seldom bought meat, so I had to go to the mountains to catch some game as meat dishes, including rats. These rats are all from mountains or forests, and there is no garbage pollution in the city at all, and there are no so-called heavy metals and toxins. Of course, because rats are omnivores and have a wide range of activities, bacteria must be carried, but as long as they are handled well and cooked well, it is definitely a delicious food. First of all, rat meat is not only delicious, but also has high nutritional value. It is rich in protein, vitamins and amino acids, and can also tonify kidney, treat children's bed wetting and so on.
