Now this is a nice,
meaty topic.
I don't really have anything to add to what I said in the earlier thread
Agan referenced, however...

One would think! Unless the Petty-dwarves...no....surely they did
wear clothes!
Could the clothing of the early ones though have been so rudimentary, maybe just unadorned animal skins, that the Elves would just attack first? And the beards so wild and unkempt no facial details were apparent?
I think that would support a "no eat" argument though: the Elves killed them for safety reasons and let them lie, with no close scrutiny.
