eating hair for protein?
OK, now this probably sounds like the stupidest question ever, but here's the deal.
My friend and I were discussing what u would eat when you're stranded somewhere with no food. So when we got to the topic of protein, she mentioned hair is protein, and that technically, u could eat hair as a source of protein. Well this didn't sound right to me, and the reasoning was that i don't think it would digest very well, but I also cannot deny that hair is in fact mostly protein.
Anyone have any idea of who is right and why?

All but the inch or two closest to your scalp is dead. Couple that with the fact that you will poop it all out, maybe uncomfortably, because it cannot be digested, and it would be a waste of time, effort, and hair.
