Vulnerable spadefoot tadpoles eat their smaller competitors to speed towards toadhood as quickly as possible. Gulls and pelicans are among bird species that eat hatchlings for food or to prevent the spread of disease. In insect species such as the praying mantis or the Australian redback spider, males offer their bodies as a final gift to females after mating.
It's more common than you'd think in mammals too. Many rodent mothers may eat some of their young if they're sick, dead, or too numerous to feed. Bears and lions kill and eat the offspring of adult females to make them more receptive to mating. Chimpanzees sometimes cannibalize unlucky rivals, usually infants, seemingly for the mere opportunity of some extra protein.
For humans though, cannibalism is the ultimate taboo. In fact, our aversion to cannibalism is so strong that consent and ethics count for little.

Because we’re not animals.
Being squeamish about cannibalism is just another subtle form of institutional racism and white supremacy.
I see where this is headed, soylent green!
The Left is using the Press to try to tell us that eating bugs is the wave of the future.
Now they will try to sell us on eating Soylent Green.
Because we ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
They are going full bore for complete destruction of the morals and morays of western society. Cannibalism, homosexuality, legalized pedophilia, bestiality. These people are just the dregs of humanity and need to be put away in some asylum for the perverted beyond help.
Because we are made in God’s image. The animals are not.
Why is it taboo among humans??? Is it because we have a higher more developed thought process than animals? Is it because we have morals and ethics and values which we live by, which are beyond the frame of reference of animals which eat their young?
Is this writer shocked that we behave differently than animals?
“gift after mating”
or they’re just too damn tired.
Cannibalism is not bad. Eating humans is what is bad. And it is only cannibalism if the diner is also human.
From what I've read, their protein came from turkeys, chihuahuas, insects, pond scum, and captured humans.

If you’re white and you won’t eat a black man, you’re racist.
RE: so why is it the ultimate taboo for humans?
Because that’s what separates Humans from Animals. DUH !
If you believe that God created humans in His image and not animals, the question need not even be asked. Now if you don’t, that’s another story.
Dear Sir,
I am glad to hear that your studio audience disapproves of the last skit as strongly as I. As a naval officer I abhor the implication that the Royal Navy is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the RAF who now suffer the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Argylls ate in Aden. Arabs?

It is not universal amongst humans, long-pig.
Maybe we should start eating people from Nooseweak first?
Then CNN, NYT etc, etc....
Works for me.
