Canabalism

[Cakes]

I've actually never understood why cannibalism is such a taboo subject. Obviously if you don't actually murder anyone, I don't see why it's wrong. There's no better way to honour the recently deceased than make a delicious meal out of them.

In a life or death situation then go for it. If your starving and the only way to save yourself is to eat a friend then I wouldnt judge the person if he/she did.

 

[Fraught]

Oh, fuck no. It may even taste good, but I'm not that fucked up as you guys seem to be. I can't eat a food that I'm so disgusted at. I couldn't eat it purely because I'm disgusted at the thought of eating another human.

 

[Dorian]

It all depends on HOW I cannibalize.

If it's a matter of finding a dead body and chowing down, not a chance in hell.
If someone prepares it, cooks it, and doesn't burn it, it all comes down to what seasonings are used, how tough it is, and if the taste is bad or not.

Meat is meat, in my opinion.

EDIT: Oh, I just got the joke.
"Why, yes. I'd eat that person."
XD

If it was really a case of eat them or die, I guess I might...

Only if it was neccasary for survival

Seriously, all of you(apart for few upstanding chaps) didn't notice the massive mistake in OP's topic title?

Personally I prefer Vietnamese people, they have that zing of asian cuisine!

Only in survival situations. I believe I have been told that cannabilistic animals have the risk of generating new diseases - not sure how, but I recall BSE was linked to that somehow.

Give this man a cookie.

Cannibalism (spell it right, guys) has a pretty good chance of resulting in a disease that in humans is called kuru or Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, and which in cows is called bovine spongiform encephalitis or mad cow disease. It was first noticed among the Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea, which were (are?) notable cannibals.

So... yeah. If you're starving to death, go for it (it's just like any other meat, though probably higher in toxins since humans eat and expose themselves to a lot of nasty crap) but definitely don't make a habit of it.

Human's have an unhealthy diet. Quite often the things we eat arn't as clean as you might think (bad minerals in vege soil etc.) If you eat a person, you consume ALL the wrong bits of everything.

Human is borderline toxic meat...

 

[archvile93]

I would, but only when out of food and desperate.

Thought so. Yay, cookie!

See the post quoted above your's Its probably the same reason incest is a taboo - it evolved as a social defense mechanism to increase the survival odds of the society at large.

Incest, Cannibalism, and poop are things we tend to find 'urgh' but not necessarily out of the womb. And these things all reduce survival odds - Incest by introducing increased genetic disease, Cannibalism by causing CJD, and eating poop by being a major source of disease.

To quote Daniel Tosh:

"Cannibalism is bad. It is. I'm not going to argue with you. But... If you were ever forced to eat your human brethren, do you think they would taste like their ethnic backgrounds?"

It's spelled "canibalism", so this thread just fails from the start IMHO...

Besides, canibalism is wrong...

And, no. No it is not. gtfo

I'm with Billy Connolly here.

If it was possible I would want to be eaten after my death. Sadly that is not legally a option so I wanted my body to be dumped over rainforest somewhere, preferably where someone will find it a few years down the track. They won't even let me do that!

Damn laws.
