I’m trying to resolve an argument.

EDIT: Yes, you can. But you can’t digest it. The only edible parts of a tree are some specific types of tree bark. Thanks, everyone!

    Depends on your definition of “eat”.

    If you mean “Can be chewed and swallowed without causing undue harm”, then, yeah, you can eat wood. Well, most wood, I’m sure there’s some out there that are some level of toxic to humans.

    If you mean, “can be consumed as a source of nutrition”, then, no, you can’t eat wood. Humans lack the capability to digest it.
