Invalid comestibles still selectable; time passes even when nothing is consumed. #70684

Description

Describe the bug

Originally posted by a user in the community discord. Confirmed present by myself.

Invalid-marked comestibles ( e.g. Bleach, Ammonia Solution, etc ) can still be selected from the (E) consume menu. The marked 8 seconds consume time passes, and the item is (correctly!) not consumed. However, this apparently remains a little confusing for new players.

Steps to reproduce

Make a world, spawn in a gallon jug of bleach. Attempt to consume it via the main Consume menu. Watch time pass, and no message on the menu.

Expected behavior

An invalidating message on the consume menu e.g. Carnivores trying to eat Plant foods, a message in the chat log saying "you can't eat that", or outright moving them to Chemicals rather than Comestibles, may be preferable.
