traditionally, the inuit had a diet that consisted almost entirely of meat and fish. because they often ate these raw, their bodies absorbed enough vitamin c - which breaks down when heated - to avoid scurvy.

6 inuit were brought to the museum of natural science to be studied. 4 died of disease. one of the survivors, a boy, begged that his father have a traditional burial, so the scientists had a fake funeral to trick the boy, stripped the meat off his father skeleton with carnivorous beetles and boiling and put it on display.
