What you are capable of eating and what is ‘edible’ are two different things.

If you are dehydrated enough, people will choke on things otherwise of edible size, so technically it would be more correct if you started your statement with the caveat "If adequately hydrated you can eat almost dot dot dot.

Reply to TIL: If you cut 2 different sponges up, disaggregate them (push them through a sieve), and mix the 2 cell-slurries together - the sponge cells reassociate with their own cells, but not cells of the other species.
