The reason there are possums here in the Northwest is because Southerners packed them here as food animals during the early 20th century. The only natural predator they have here is the automobile.

There are lots of nasty things that people will eat when it comes to a choice of eating or going hungry. There are lots of cooking techniques and recipes that were developed to make nasty things taste good.
I'd still just as soon not eat nasty things though.
