Why can't you eat Polar bear meat?!

Its the liver.

The liver in Polar Bears contains so much vitamin K, A, D, and E (which is fat soluble), it can poison you if you eat more than 1.4 ounce a month.

>You could eat it, but it probably would be VERY VERY greasy, full of fat and thus unhealthy food. By dogs, I guess they are referring to eskimo dogs. Up around the arctic, they don't have much choice about what they get to eat, so they eat bear - but I couldn't think of a worse food besides goose or duck, that could be so full of fat. You could make the same argument for just about any other bush meat - why not have elephant leg for dinner or roasted swan stew or penguin steaks?
People just don't eat undomesticated wild animals like that because there aren't enough of them to sustain consumption if demand was created for them. I just couldn't consume leg of lion, if ya know what I mean. Same goes for polar bear.

As much exercise they get looking for food, the meat would be too stringy. I hear of Alaskans eating bear meat, but not polar bear meat. Apart from the stringiness, the rarity must come into play. Polar bears have a hard enough time surviving on their own, let alone having us hunting them for meat. In the arctic, fat is king and I thing the bowhead whales provide that for the native population. I think the Inuit spend more time avoiding them than looking for them, and for what? More variety? I don't think they'd provide that. Eat your mukluk.

I guess you can if you really wanted to but thats a long way to go to catch a polar bear .. better you than me.. anyway they have everything you could possible want to eat at Krogers

Krogers produce counter

Too many vitamins in the liver. You could OD on the polar bear liver. Also, most of the polar bear is fat.

Polar bears are edible, but the liver is toxic due to the high Vitamin A content.

The first answer is interesting.

But where would you find a polar bear anyway...

well polar bears are endangered so its illegal
