Nature does depravity.
Humans: "Is it edible?"

People learning about mushrooms: This one tastes like beef, this one killed bob instantly, and that one made me see god for 2 weeks

Have you ever thought about blue cheese?

"Let's try drinking the milk from an animal"

"Oh, it's kinda gross and solid ish now. Still tastes good though"

"Oh wait, it's gone really mouldy. Let's slap it on some chicken wings"

Animal cheese connoisseurs be like: Our food culture grew by one diarrhoea at a time.

While I would agree on the surface, it's not really depravity. We've got to do away with rotting meat somehow. Hence why vultures are so important.

Still upvoted though.

I just wanted to use that word... The whole sentence is just a word game given that personifying environment into nature is common, but wrong.

Like is that at all surprising? Starvation was a leading cause of death through much of history and pre-history, of course folks start to eat and drink dubious things. Ever heard of folks sucking the eyes out of fish to get fresh water? That's on the milder end of what our instincts will force us to do under the right circumstances.
