Why can't we eat paper?

The importance of this post will probably fall low on your scale of things worth responding to, but there's been a nagging question in my mind since near the beginning of my Glitch-life:  Why can't we eat paper or notes?  We can eat planks and now Ticket to ____ cards...but I can't eat paper??

Please let us eat paper and notes.  When I'm feeling too lazy to instantly teleport to someshrine and donate, I would like to eat the notes in my inventory that no longer serve a purpose.   Eating paper fondly reminds me of being a kid and eating paper..not often but just enough to forever remember the taste.  At least it'll give me something to do with my bajillion sheets of paper :)    Thanks!

  • You eat the paper when part of a recipe (birch candy)

    I like that Glitch has anomolies and wouldn't like this changed. I haven't got over not being able to grow strawberries yet

  • Paper comes from paper trees, wood comes from wood trees. Giants only know where the upgrade cards come from

  • But you don't want papercuts on your tongue!

    ...Though splinters don't sound any more pleasant.

    (Seriously though I like this idea, but I'd say we should only be able to eat our own notes, since I like reading the random notes other Glitch leave around Ur and it would be a shame if people started picking them up to eat.)

  • I suggest the verb be "origamise". It gets folded into a bird and flies away

  • We could eat our own notes, for a small energy gain and some mood loss. (I imagine the taste can't be too good.)

    And we could origamise plain paper - some energy loss, but mood gain. Maybe we could then use the origamis to make the Origami Cranes decoration, too, but having them fly away would also be fun.

  • Personally, I've always wanted to eat my words. Edible paper FTW. Maybe it gives you a "thirsty" buff that causes you to lose mood until you also drink a drink.
