Why is do we view canabalism as wrong?

We will eat the wierdest animal parts, overpay to get them and call them delicacies.

We kill eachother in mass all over the world yet alot of people are still starving.

Only small tribal groups still eat people. Why?

You can get a number of diseases from cannibalism for one. Another a lot of people are toxic from drugs/meds they take and full of micro plastics too.

It's just not a great idea. But should it be illegal? Idk there have been cases where people have wanted to be eaten and other people have wanted to eat them. I think in such cases if it is consensual and some sort of contract is made maybe it should be allowed.

@Ananke it used to have spiritual meaning to some cultures too

Probably so that people don't start eating their neighbors or going to war with each other. I know people will throw out all sorts of "moral" justifications for not doing so, but humans forsake their morals all the time for the flimsiest reasons. We treat the rest of our food like crap, why make an exception?

It's just logical that most people resent being killed or eaten. Call it survival instincts. Eating other lifeforms, preferably those smaller and weaker than us, is just a better strategy for survival

Because it's not healthy. People consume too many artificial ingredients in their food: food coloring, food additives, pesticides. Eating fresh vegetables, and hormone free beef, and chicken is much better for you.

Drinking a glass of water or a cup of green tea is better than draining someone's blood.

When was the last time you saw someone with a USDA stamp of approval on their forehead? Proof that eating people is not healthy.

@GuyWithOpinions true story!! One of the best things to come out if the UK
DallasCowboysFan · 61-69, M
@Fullmetal I saw a woman on this site a few years ago that called herself Mrs. Jeffrey Dahmer.
She said he was 'beautiful' and she wished she could have married him. And she said that she wished he would have eaten her instead. She was serious. There are a lot of unstable people in the world.

I don't like the taste of ham
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@SkeetSkeet yeah ham can be very fatty. Maybe a grain fed vegan would be a healthier choice.
Not sure what you're talking about.
I have eaten plenty of women
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@looking4thesun i hear its kind of like deer meat but less gamey. But i guess it depends on the person. I wouldnt eat a fat person because of the chemicals and additives in the meat. Just not good for you.

Maybe grain fed vegans would be a healthy choice
@GuyWithOpinions you meant dear meat didn't you?
Idk why we eat animals at all in this day and age of tech
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@BittersweetPotato they are also herbivores, hence why they are tameable.
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@GuyWithOpinions and what do you think humans are?
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@BittersweetPotato omnivores. We have the enzymes to digest both. Its why we are smarter than cows. We can eat fats rather than try to process grass into brain matter. Its more efficient.

Simply because it goes against good nature to eat your own kind.
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@GuyWithOpinions so you want to solve the starvation problem by killing people? What a brilliant solution. Maybe better solutions would be family planning, educating people on it, and on efficient use of resources, wouldn’t they be?
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@BittersweetPotato people kill eachother all the time. And we have enough abundance for everyone but its horded by the ritch nations and people. If humans were benevolent we wouldnt have war or famine.
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@GuyWithOpinions You do realise that the solution to the current violence is not more violence, right?

Tastes like greasy pork, or so I am told.

Prion diseases
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@Selah thats not from canabalism. You would have to eat meat with the disease to contract it.
@GuyWithOpinions
You know which baked bean out of the entire can that made you fart?
Notsimilarreally · 31-35, F
Can’t you get like some serious disease from eating human?
Notsimilarreally · 31-35, F
@GuyWithOpinions diseases form humans may be more contagious to us?
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
@Notsimilarreally yeah but the peraon has to have the disease first. I guess maybe dont eat people at the hospital? Lol.

Its kinda like saying "i wont have sex with anyone because humans get STDs".
Notsimilarreally · 31-35, F
@GuyWithOpinions I see what you’re saying.

@jshm2 i think it would be the same as ancient times. Racism wasnt a thing yet. Just who ever lost the war becomes a slave. So war would still happen as it would today, we would just eat the dead rather than burry them. Bodies would become an economic resource.
