Cannibalism

[elemenetal150]

I saw an article once that Humans are the only animal that can't properly digest their own meat so people that eat other people on a regular basis start o stink because of the process that your body does to get rid of the extra left over from not being able to eat it.

Not sure if it is true but I think it was in a reputable source (can't really remember)

I've never really considered killing and eating another person actually >.> I'll leave it to the zombies

Cannibalism leads to all kinds of shit happening to your body, like this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creutzfeldt%E2%80%93Jakob_disease].

No thanks.

On a side note - human flesh tastes very much like pork.

Chicken I would've guessed, everything tastes like chicken.

But I guess pork makes sense... *sigh*

As a quick technicality, we're all cannibals. In your lifetime you've probably unknowingly eaten dandruff that has fallen in food at one point, making you a cannibal. But I don't see whats wrong with it anyway, the bodies are eventually eaten by microbes so you might as well be the one to benefit from the death, I mean it's not like they can complain about it.

It's physically unhealthy for you. You can get alot of different rashes and nervous system disorders from ingestion human flesh. Most mammals will not cannibalize their own species for this same reason.

Only with salt.

If you were starving to death I think the will to stay alive will overcome any moral code or obligation beset on you by society. I hear it tastes like pork.

Are we talking about Jeffery Dahmer cannibalism, Donner Party cannibalism, or Pacific missionaries in over their head cannibalism?

That wasn't cannibalism, it was zombies! Max Brooks says so....

I think I'm going to reserve cannibalism to survival situations where I have no other options.

Dude, you do know that Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is basically mad cow disease, right?

Yes, I'm well aware. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy came about when cow farmers "recycled" all the bits of cow that they couldn't sell to the public; by feeding it back to the cows. It's the same disease afflicting both species, caused by eating the meat of ones own species.

no it's caused by eating infected meat, it can be passed by eating the meat of one's species, but it's comparatively likely to be passed by eating the flesh of another species, of which has been infected

It may be more likely to be passed on that way, yes, but it originated from cannibalism.

It's a perfectly legitimate occupation

true but at this point it's just as likely to get it either way.

I don't really like the idea of cannibalism, and I wouldn't even get near the act thereof. Even in a "do it or you're dead" kind of situation, I wouldn't. It's just... creepy. Besides, God knows where that human's been. I also suck at cooking.

 

[Rascarin]

True enough. But, linking back to my original argument; one still makes oneself far more likely to acquire the disease if one is a cannibal, than not. Which is why I wouldn't do it.

Part of me wonders how human flesh taste, I i really dont want to no that badly to find out me self. Now, if it was commen place I would order from Human hut all the time.

Ive eaten monkey so I figure it cant be that far off... (a family friend owns a resturant in south america)

 

[Chartic]

I don't think Cannibalism isn't really that good an idea.

Sad thing is that I love the taste of blood and skin and eating it all cooked doesnt sound any different. No I never bit any of my friends and ate them. I pick scabs and lick the blood which is still kinda weird. And whenever someone bleeds at school I get all squimish cuz I want to lick the blood yet my friends think Im just afraid of it so they rub the cut in my face and I have panic attacks all the time. It is incredibly weird I know and only once could I not control myself. My one friend fell and cut his knee right open. (Later he got like 7 stiches) But before then he was showing everyone and when he got to me he wiped all the blood on his hand and said smell it. I tried not to but I grabed his hand and licked it all off :S Oh God there was soo much It tasted soo good!
Well anyways, Ive always been curious about the taste of human flesh. Aparently its very sweet tasting, not that I would know But in all seriousness I would eat another human being, survival situation or not. So I guess I am a bit of a cannible.

Babies taste like Fish! But seriously, I honestly don't see why everyone thinks it's so bad, I mean, your just gonna' toss them in the ground, or a furnace, so why not use them for something useful?
