Not sure I believe the reporter. Even though if cannibalism was present but not widespread in NYC, it would be a pretty major news story.

Haiti is "in a state of chaos" as brutal gang members attack police officers with machetes, a journalist in Port-au-Prince has claimed.
Violence has plagued the country's capital of Port-au-Prince for years, but the situation has escalated drastically as gangs demand that Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry resign. A state of emergency has been declared in the country after gangs attacked two prisons, setting many criminals free. It is now thought that 80% of the Haitian capital is controlled by these gangs.
Describing the violence in the country, a journalist said that cannibalism has been witnessed on the streets as the violence reaches "unprecedented" levels, reports the Express US. Speaking anonymously, they said: "Haiti is living in a total chaotic situation right now. It is total chaos everywhere, especially in the capital where I am right now.
"Haiti has a leader, Prime Minister Ariel Henry, but he is not inside the country right now. In the meantime you have gangs waging full attacks on key institutions.
"You also have attacks on police stations. The officers were in there for three hours crying for help, and after that, we saw images of officers being cut by machetes being shared on social media. The gangs are heavily armed with guns from the US, but they are also equipped with high-level technology like drones.
"The level of violence is unprecedented. The gangs seemingly want to kill as many people as they can. They are in a fear campaign where they want to appear as murderous and as violent as possible."
After the interview, the journalist sent a message reading: "Cannibalism is not widespread, but definitely an indication of the worsening situation. It definitely happens on a few occasions."
There's a power struggle among gangs in Haiti, but one of the most feared figures in Port-au-Prince's underworld is Jimmy Cherizier.
Known as "Barbeque", this ex-cop recently stated that the people were taking "destiny into our own hands". Haiti's stand-in Prime Minister, Henry, faces widespread anger for his failure to put the gangs in check.
Cherizier has made threats to seize power in Haiti. When asked if this could happen, the journalist said: "I don't know if he can take control of the country, but what we know is he is highly influential. He is probably the most notorious gang member in Haiti."
Have the gang members complained that the servings are smaller with shrinkflation?
I’ve never been to Haiti. I know people who been on medical mission trips there.
Are there very nice parts of Haiti like many other countries which have troubled areas in them? Or is it all pretty destitute?
Hey libs, RATs, Woke, Liz Cheney, etc. : Wanna see what a real “insurrection” looks like? Just take a look/see at this BS. Yeah, that’s right....look reaallll good, long-hard look too, ya dumb SOBs..
Rare, Medium, or Well Done?(sarcasm)
My wife likes cooking shows.(I’m being a smart ass)
The idea behind cannibalism is that the cannibal gains the strength and spirit of who is being eaten so yeah that fits.
I’ve heard it said that during the Haitian Revolution, the rebels promised to dedicate their country to Satan.
Is this a “color revolution”? It sure seems like it.
There are no nice parts in Haiti. No vacation spots for Westerners. The entire country is in shambles.
“in early 1982”
“He was impressed by the cohesion of Haitian society: he found none of the crime, social disorder, and rampant drug and alcohol abuse so common in many of the other Caribbean islands.”
“Case histories of fugu poisoning read like accounts of zombification. Victims remain conscious but unable to speak or move. A man who had “died” after eating fugu recovered seven days later in the morgue. Several summers ago, another Japanese poisoned by fugu revived after he was nailed into his coffin.”

Sounds like the monkeys escaped from the cages.

Best meal in decades! Now they will flee to the US even when the people’s Paradise of Commie Cuba is closer.
Good thing Haiti has common-sense gun control, otherwise, someone would be likely to get hurt.
According to their own history, if you can believe it, they sold their souls to the devil in order to throw out the French. They were successful.
Maybe they are reverting to the old African ways as they still practice African Vodun as their religion.
Reminds me of the movies I WALK WITH A ZOMBIE and White Zombie.
