No it isn't.

In the words of the Jefferson Airplane:

I know your 
  Momma told you 
    Not to eat your friends
      With your fingers and hands.
But I say
  Eat what you will
    Shove it in your mouth
      Any way that you can


Not that I do, of course, but it's a valid philosophy.

Or is it?
