The Reed family didn't eat people-meat. They lived on boiled hide.
Further, the cannibals sorted the meat so that no one ate a relative.

That reminds me of the story of ill-fated
Owen Coffin, to whom the rock group Mountain dedicated their song about whalers, "Nantucket Sleighride."

They have a "Donner Party Reunion" among the descendants of those that made that fateful journey. I imagine that they watch each other closely.

Noone can say what they would or wouldn't do if they were starving until they are in that situation. If my children were starving, I would not mind them eating me, especially if I were already dead. I would pray for their mentality after something like that, but I would hope they stayed alive.

I imagine that they watch each other closely. Only those who lick their lips while watching others.

Sometimes, the world is black.
And tears run from your eyes.
And maybe we'll all get really sick.
And maybe we'll all die.
So...
Let's build a snowman!
We can make him our best friend.
We can name him Tom or we can name him George!
We can make him tall, or we can make him not so tall.
Snowman!
He'll have a happy face, a happy smile, a happy point of view.
If you build me a snowman, then I'll build one for you.
So, let's build a snowman!
We can make him our best friend.
We can name him Bob or we can name him Beowulf!
We can make him tall, or we can make him not so tall.
Snowman!
Hey!
(Tapdance solo)
He'll have a happy face, a happy smile, a happy point of view.
If you build me a snowman, then I'll build one for you.
Snowman! Snowman! Snowman!

Of course they wouldn't cook the meat. Where would you get fire on a mountain?
