Did the Ewoks eat the stormtroopers?

I read a cracked article today that implied that perhaps offscreen, the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi feasted on the bodies of the stormtroopers killed/captured, as they were about to do to Han Solo earlier, before C-3PO 'rescued' him.

Is there any canon source, or quote from one of the filmmakers/actors that this is what categorically did/did not occur?

There is no canon source I've ever read that confirms or denies this (or discusses it at all), and I'm pretty sure Lucas wouldn't even entertain the question. Ewoks were roughly (very roughly) based on the Viet Cong and their defeating of the American troops. They are scrappy, camoflaged and deceptively smart. I would find it hard to believe that Lucas ever thought of them eating the remains of Stormtroopers. The threat to Han and Luke was most likely meant to introduce some drama into the plot that would hold the viewers' attention.
