Good Eating?

Escapers from Heinlein's generation ship land on a terrestroid moon of a Jovoid planet. One knifes a native animal and says:

"'Good eating!'"

-Orphans of the Sky, p. 111.

The narrative ends with the affirmation:

"'From now on...always Good Eating.'" (ibid.)

Not necessarily. In fact, probably not. We have read Poul Anderson. Local food might be poisonous or might not be nourishing or might need dietary supplements. That last consideration, at least. Heinlein wrote an implausible conclusion to his generation ship story. Brian Aldiss thought that he "could do it better" (his own words) and wrote Non-Stop. Anderson imagined an Asimovian science of society used to prevent generation ship mutinies from getting out of hand. Clifford Simak imagined revivalist religion used to keep a spaceship crew performing necessary tasks. There have been a lot of other generation ship stories, apparently. See here.
