There is nothing necessarily unethical or unreasonable about eating human flesh, declare psychologists Jared Piazza and Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University, but careful reasoning over the merits of cannibalism is often “overridden by our feelings of repulsion and disgust.”
While not going so far as to recommend cannibalism, saying “there is no need to overcome our repulsion for the foreseeable future,” the two authors suggest that humans could master their aversion for human flesh if they needed to.
“Many people develop disgust for all kinds of meat, while morticians and surgeons quickly adapt to the initially difficult experience of handling dead bodies,” they note. “Our ongoing research with butchers in England suggests that they easily adapt to working with animal parts that the average consumer finds quite disgusting.”
Moreover, the psychological revulsion experienced over the prospect of consuming human flesh is not the product of reason and may even contradict reason, they argue in Wednesday’s article, which originally appeared last week in The Conversation.

“Who the hell would want to live among people who do not have a cannibalism taboo?”
Well, that’s just it. These so-so socializts claim they’re sociologically based but. . . these are the kinds of taboos that allow us to live together in societies. Imagine if you had to worry about your kids being nabbed for food. Well, given the breakdown we’ve had so far it’s not that hard to imagine. But I too would rather not live in a society that promotes cannibalism.
That said, if I were in a plane crash in the Andes I’d be like, why not. Those people didn’t need their meat anymore. I imagine among the survivors it becomes a question of who will be first.
I will occasionally go with that which is with the cloven hoof but does not chew the cud (but as I said above, never the liver, you never see pork liver), but no blood because the blood contains the life.
Not sure about chickens either. They do eat the seed, but I believe they also eat the worm. So I dunno.
Yeah he’s saying democrats aren’t poison it’s a trick.
