Mutations tend to have 3 levels, with ever stronger effects. I'll
add a list of all of them at the end of this post. (Didn't know the
scale descriptions weren't random. It's from mutation.cc from the
source. If someone could provide a link for you, you might like to
take a look at it yourself. Even I manage to find some answers
there, and I have no clue at all.

I do rather like that mutation as well, but poisonous food is still
poisonous without poison resistance.
Kobolds, trolls, and I think ogres are carnivorous to start with.
Ghouls actually heal when they eat rotten meat, and it heals their
own rotting. (Nagas, btw, are poison resistant.)
There's an amulet that'll let you eat meat even when you aren't
hungry: amulet of the gourmand. It'll also allow you to eat rotten
food without getting sick. Actually, when you've got this amulet,
it's better to let chunks of orc (for example) rot before eating
them, because if you eat them fresh, you might get sick. (Sick just
means you'll not heal up Hp. and might lose the occasional point of
Str, Dex or Int until it's over). This might be a bug, not sure.
On a note related to mutations, Demonspawn get random, supposedly
positive ■, mutations during the game that can't be gotten rid of.
Xom likes to mutate his followers at whim, which in my experience
tends to be more positive than negative. Xom's fun, though, anyway,
even when he tries to kill you. Think of him as the RNG's little
brother, doing more obvious meddling in your business.
■ I object to +Str / -Dex mutations and similar being counted
among the positive ones.
