I read a report of an anthropologist who had taken a recent trip to a remote part of New Guinea, he had to pay the tribes before they would allow him entry. Anyway, he said the government and the tribes swear that cannabilism (eating of humans) had ceased. But, he said that isn't the case. Seems the natives have a new tact, they claim now that an evil spirit/being can 'take-over' a human body and that 'it' is no longer human and okay to kill and eat. They're eating the evil/foreign spirit now, not humans.

An apology’s not good enough. We want reparations!

They ate the missionaries because they were proselytizing. That’s because the previous set of Christian missionaries tasted so good. These Methodist ministers did not taste nearly as good because they were the wrong religion.
The previous set of missionaries — the ones that tasted good? They were Friars.
