new question of the week

the back ground is Holes the book or movie. Actually we were watching the movie recently.
For those who don't know of it the main character gets sentenced to 18 months at camp green lake for getting caught with stolen shoes that were a famous baseball players donation to a charity auction. At this camp the prisoners/mislead youth have to dig holes all day in the hot texas sun in the middle of nowhere "to build character". The main character and his best friend end up running away from the camp and having onions as their only source of food for a while and they eat them to survive. {there was water to drink.
After that brief limited synopsis. I pose my next question of the week focusing on onion eating to survive.
My question of the week is:
if any of you were stranded anywhere with only onions to eat for a decent amount of time {NOT FOREVER} would you eat the onions to survive or just not eat at all{there is also water to drink}?

I personally don't like onions myself but i think i would bite the bullet and eat them to survive and also to survive without bigger migraine headaches than i already have normally. {not eating does that to me}
I know mom detests onions as well so i hope that she posts her answer. {maybe she'd eat it pretending in her mind it was a sugar free popsicle. {he,he,he}
