I don't think I could ever eat that knowing what it is, but it does look like something that would be edible if need be.

In regard to the keeping silent, there's been a lot said between now and the beginning, but I'll throw this in anyway since I don't know if it's been said.

People who talk about that kind of thing are pretty influenced by Freud, who isn't the best source on psychological information.
