My first thought was of the "Alferd E. Packer Grill" at the U. of Colorado, Boulder.

"...tastes like chicken!"

People swap helpful tips, such as "How to Practice Safe Cannibalism"...

I have to assume this is from the point of view of the eater, since being the eatee is by definition highly unsafe.

No matter how you cut it up, eating people is simply wrong -
Who are we to decide what's right and wrong? Who died and made her God? As we all know, right and wrong is decided on an individual basis. I mean, sheesh, forcing your views on others is completely un-PC.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed reading it. It's hard to imagine that people really do things like this, though.

I especially liked the line that the guy, "the eater", thought he could speak English better because the guy he had eaten spoke it well!

Germans. The other other white meat.

Canibalism, and necrophillia for that matter, are legal most places.
It is so rare for them to occur without the violation of some other law already on the books, that they aren't worth the trouble of legislating.

As ignorant, inhuman and flat out wrong as all this is, what kills me is the volunteer aspect.

It's like taking S&M to another level. If you're going to CHOOSE to be the cannabalizer or the cannabalizee, why, oh why would you chose to be the one that SITS THERE AND GETS EATEN?!?

Excuse me, beg pardon. Could you pass the me, please.

If you want to volunteer to get literally eaten alive in a savage frenzy of which you have no chance of surviving intact, find a way to become Howard Dean's VP. It's a lot more embarassaing, albeit not quite as painful.

You would think that the Russians would have the most cannibals, what with their Ivan the Terrible background.

According to Meiwes, Brandes was so keen to taste his own fried member that he started eating it before it was cooked properly, so as not to die without experiencing this longed for pleasure. He perished 10 hours later.

Food poisoning?

Diego's response when Sid the Sloth was between his teeth and Manny the Mammoth reminded Diego to put Sid out of his mouth since he didn't know where Sid had been. Diego's response after he dropped Sid out of his mouth: "I don't eat junk food."

[Quix]

True.

Though, I'm convinced that in our lifetime, due to great famine, people in the good old US OF A

will eat their friends and relatives who have died.

Some will wait for them to die so they can eat them.

Some will hasten the dying.

The times are a changin'

folks.

Anybody read STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND? Of course you have. You just blanked out the traumatic parts about cannibalism.

--

It was about a century ago, I understand, that children were sold as meat in the village markets of China.

--

I'm saying "protein is protein," when I can't bring myself to eat rabbit, elk, or venison, but supposedly, when one is hungry enough, protein IS protein. Ask the survivors of that plane crash in the Andes, who were hanging strips of deceased companions in the sun to dry. I think only one person starved rather than eat the dead...and she, herself, of course, was eaten.

May I never be that hungry!

Just DAMN! and I mean DAMN!!! ping

I guess I don't understand the British sense of humor.

"No matter how you cut it up, eating people is simply wrong"

What if he just bit off large hunks, no cutting, does that qualify?

[The Great RJ]

But wouldn't the recent Supreme Court decision on sodomy also apply--if the parties both agree then who is the state to interfere in their privacy.

[qam1]

Christianity doesn't remotely justify cannibalism,

Never read Zechariah chapter 11 or Leviticus chapter 26 I see

[FreedomCalls]

What may be an EU speciality is that apparently cannibalism is not a crime

Cannibalism is not a crime in the modern, progressive, enlightened, and liberal Germany. But killing ants is.

Germans banned from killing ants

Germany has introduced new laws making it illegal to kill ants and appointed 85 ant protection officers to protect the insects.

Homeowners and gardeners who attempt to destroy an anthill or underground nest will face hefty fines if caught.

They must now apply for a permit from their local forestry office to have the ants carefully moved to local woods.

"People with an ant hill in their garden must under no circumstances resort to the use of poison," said senior ant protection officer Dieter Kraemer.

"This is a violation of federal nature protection laws and punishable with hefty fines."

He added that ants were highly valued by German foresters for eating insects which attack trees.

A high ant population can prevent costly and environmentally unfriendly woodland spraying aimed at pests such as the Nun moth which attacks pines and other conifers.

Why don't cannibals eat clowns?


They taste funny.
