We are accused of ignoring the stupid question while the accuser will ignore the cogent answer you’ve given. Some people show they will march to oblivion because there are many they see doing it so willingly for so long.

Well, when you can even imagine, "Ordinary food is consumed and becomes that which consumes it. In the Eucharist, we consume God and become that which we consume," "whatever our sins have done to us, the Holy Communion can repair; and whatever our sins have done to God, the Mass - which is part of the Eucharist - can restore," for "the Eucharist...contains Christ and the whole power of His Passion." (the Eucharist and Its Effects—The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, James H. Dobbins) then you are outside the realm of Scriptural exegesis and into the realm of pagan fantasy, if not identical.

Alpers and Lindenbaum’s research conclusively demonstrated that kuru [neurological disorder] spread easily and rapidly in the Fore people due to their endocannibalistic funeral practices, in which relatives consumed the bodies of the deceased to return the “life force” of the deceased to the hamlet, a Fore societal subunit. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_%...9#Transmission

The custom of eating bread sacramentally as the body of a god was practised by the Aztecs before the discovery and conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards." ...They believed that by consecrating bread their priests could turn it into the very body of their god, so that all who thereupon partook of the consecrated bread entered into a mystic communion with the deity by receiving a portion of his divine substance into themselves.

The doctrine of transubstantiation, or the magical conversion of bread into flesh, was also familiar to the Aryans of ancient India long before the spread and even the rise of Christianity. The Brahmans taught that the rice-cakes offered in sacrifice were substitutes for human beings, and that they were actually converted into the real bodies of men by the manipulation of the priest. We read that “when it (the rice-cake) still consists of rice-meal, it is the hair. When he pours water on it, it becomes skin. When he mixes it, it becomes flesh: for then it becomes consistent; and consistent also is the flesh.

...At the festival of the winter solstice in December the Aztecs killed their god Huitzilopochtli in effigy first and ate him afterwards....This was called “killing the god Huitzilopochtli so that his body might be eaten.” ...The ceremony was called teoqualo, that is, “god is eaten.” - The Golden Bough, Eating the God among the Aztecs (cp. 50:2), by Sir James George Frazer, Scottish social anthropologist, often considered one of the founding fathers of modern anthropology. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_George_Frazer
