Actually they can eat you. I have a cousin that lives in the far east and has since he was a missionary in New Guinea in his 20's in the early 70's. When cooked, a human tastes very close to a pig. In fact the literal translation for one tribe for human is "long pig". Also the muscle in your body is set up similar to a chicken. The slow flexing, power on demand muscles in your upper body are white meat. The fast flexing muscles of your lower body are dark meat. This difference in muscle structure is one reason why it is easier to walk 100 meters on your feet than it is on your hands.
