Well, first of all, boiling probably wouldn't help. Most PLA melts around 170+ C so putting it in boiling water wouldn't do much. My reccomendation for making PLA more edible would to cut the filament up into sprinkle-sized pieces and put them in a rock tumbler or a parts polisher to knock of the sharp edges that would come from cutting up the filament. If you didn't do this, it would be very possible that the sharp pieces of plastic would severely damage your intestinal tract. In terms of toxicity, PLA is routinely used in medical implants so I don't belive that it would poison you. It also probably wouldn't help given that it can take 6 to 24 months to break down so any possible nutrients stored within would not have a chance to be absorbed by your body. If you really wanted something to eat at the end of times, dirt might be a better option.
