It is one thing I like about my people. They are "savages" who plant a tree for every birth..And the child has to care for it when they're of age... And if it dies, they plant another.
@Peaches Me too; it's a wonderful thing to do. I adore walking in the woods. I want to be planted beneath a tree when I die. I was thinking today how much nicer cemetary's would be to have a forest of remembrance; where instead of a headstone you had a tree. You could even plant native fruit providing a free source of food for the homeless of low income.
@CopperCicada That's another good method; or Tibetan sky burial...that's cool. I always wanted a fire burial; stacked up like the ancients or simply placed in a wicker coffin & placed in the woods for natural decomposition & animal feasting.
@Miram As weird as this sounds; for the human diet, other human meat is the best from a biological & dietary perspective. Lean, low in fat; add to this the fact that the human body cannot take on 'human' cholesterol thus reducing our own levels. Pound for pound it's the best meat for consumption of all / most animal species.
With the exception of the brain which can develop a natural parasite to protect itself from consumption known as 'Kuru' the majority of the human body can be eaten.
The human body it should be noted is somewhat like venison in texture & has a strong / heavy, but rich veal taste.
Many times through history cannibalism has been practiced. Some for food, some for ceremonial / funerary rights. There are many rituals associated with this for funerals; in some countries bodies are buried for 1yr before being re-exhumed & the remains crushed & ground by pummels & rocks before being mixed with flour & spices & baked into bread & cakes to be eaten by relatives. It's their belief of the souls continuation not only within them (a literal form of consumption) but also they believe the soul is trapped by the skeletal remains & by doing so it allows them to be released.
Many are also unaware the in most places cannibalism is not illegal. There is no known laws which actually prohibit it. There are "other" laws which are associated & go hand in hand such as "improper disposal of a corpse / cadaver" or "desecration of remains" etc. but none for actually eating. There is also a legal aspect with the death itself. If you were to kill them & eat them; it would simply be murder. You cannot by law have a cannibalism funeral though as being eaten by your relatives is not a legally sanctioned way for disposal.
You can "legally" remove parts of your body while being alive & feed it to others or yourself...strictly with their knowledge & acceptance; this has been done a few times itself in history.

Nah, they are the same in nutritional value depending on the health of whatever you're eating. But if you want to eat me, I will just go ahead and tell ya, make sure to cook me well.
Who knows what kind of diseases I harbor with a profession like mine 😋
