How is it not a form of cannibalism ? Good lord what a twisted f __ k who ever thought of using human tissue as a flavor extract....think about that for a minute.

You didn't read the article, did you. Let me spare you the inconvenience and sum it up for you here:

Human Embryonic Kidney cells (HEK 293) originally havested in the 1970s, and cloned ever since, are used to create artificial taste buds that companies such as Pepsi use to perform initial screening of new flavorings.

No aborted fetuses are being used in Pepsi products.

I read the article...again how is it not cannibalism ? Human cells for a flavor enhancer? Gee whats wrong with honey or molasses or sugar or lemon or lime or any other thing we are presented with from this great planet? Just because the original HUMAN cells are from the 70’s and are supposedly cloned it’s a cool thing for a b ull s __t soda? Give me a break.
