Well! The configuration of a yinglet digestive system veers towards the carnivorous (fish, mollusks, large insects, etc), and while it can also break down many fortified fruits and vegetables, and even stuff that would be well past being safe to eat for a human... grains in particular (wheat, rice, starch-based foods in general) don't break down well and/or quickly in their stomachs, and tend to oversaturate and gum up the works, so the body tends to go into "PURGE EVERYTHING" mode if it detects too much of that coming in.
Lead is toxic. Copper pots and pans have been used for centuries. http://warner-management.ipower.com.....ttle%20001.JPG
If it was toxic, we wouldn't be coating pennies with the stuff let alone make candy in it. I can't be the only one, as a child, who put a penny in their mouth for the taste.

It is toxic. You're just lucky that human saliva isn't acidic enough to corrode copper. Simply putting it into your mouth doesn't give you any problems since it doesn't kill on contact.
And yeah, that's why we make chocolate in it instead of fruit candies or anything acidic like lemondrops. That'd be baaaaad mojo.

Not really, many places sell copper cookware, it is actually considered rather posh and is often sought out by those who can afforde it. Copper is one of the earliest metals that most human cultures learn to refine and work with, as such humans have cooked with coper for a very long time.
The metal itself is fine, though you are right, the oxized green or datk brown "petina" or rust that forms on it can be a bit poisonous in very high concentrations. But in small concentrations even that is a vital nutriant for all mamals and the body is really good at regulating how much of it is present so it is relatively hard to build up to toxic levels of it in ones body, even when eating it. Which isn't to say one should try it, but generally one would have to eat a fair deal of the rusted stuff for a while with little else in their diet to get really ill from it. One or two experimental copper meals shouldn't really hurt you, so long as the peices being consumed are dull (even slight edges could cut your insides, which is obviously bad), all of the pieces are too small to have any problems passing through every part of your GI track, and the total weight of what you consume isn't much more then that of a full stomach of normal food.

they are really stupid. I would have immediately noticed and start up a small trading post for merchants to pay a fee to sell at the post and discount on "trade days" to allow traveling customers to buy and sell at their whim and resupply for their trips/return trips to major markets :V You're trying to survive out in the crazy world, if opportunity of trade to make your town awesome arrives then snatch it. don't wag your finger at merchants offering to sell there >:I. even Dimmy knew that...AND HE'S A YINGLET!
Professor Dimmy: SMARTER ZAN ZE AVERAGE YINGLET!!!!
alright alright I get it =.=

Yinglets will one day discover the concept of proper trade, and that since they are the bottom of the social ladder that they will take all the jobs nobody else will. And then they'll use that to their advantage. Yes, we clean up the streets of all the trash and muck. Now we want to be paid for it too, or else one of YOU will have to do it instead. Oh, and we want to keep the trash.
Oh those poor little yinglets. I too find myself wondering how it is exactly they continue to live. And eating copper, that can't feel good. Ickney really didn't teach these them anything did she? Well if they could somehow convince Cairo to stick around maybe s/he could whip them into something resembling a community.
Admirable little rat-birds, surviving even the face of extreme odds. Treacherous environment, a society hostile to them, and ineffective leadership. But their sturdy constitution and adaptability are great. I am loving these little buggers, just as much as I love sergals. Oh how I would love to hug one and spoil them rotten. He or she could journey with me and share in the grand adventures and plenty of shinies to be collected.
If Cairo were to take Ickney's place as matriarch; with his/her knowledge of trade Cairo could probably get this enclave into the copper business. Cairo could become the yinglet equivalent of Viracroix. First this little bordertown then the world! All will bow tot he might of the great yinglet trade federation.

Haha, I'm really glad to hear that you're enjoying these little things so much! A comparison to Mick39 is super flattering, since she's definitely one of the inspirations I had when deciding to learn to draw 6 or so years ago. And yes, they totally lend themselves to buddying up with slightly more capable acquaintances.
You know, "semi-canon" actually works for this. Something like this could be a yinglet legend.
"Zere once was an enclave wiz a single matriarch, named Ickney. Zat's za yinglet's name, not za enclave. Unfortunately for za yinglets zere, she sucked at matriarching. Really, really sucked. But zis other yinglet matriarch showed up out of absolutely nowhere and saved everybody from going down in flames. No, literally, down in flames. Zhere was zis one time... anyway, she showed up and took over, and everyone was happy. Except za new matriarch, for some reason. Za end."
See? No mention of transformations at all!
