Well we generally share susceptance to the same diseases and parasites as humans, so it's a bad idea to be eating them.

However, prepared correctly with enough heat, possibly also frozen beforehand (that's what works on pork), I hear humans can actually be quite tasty.

It's seen as a bit of a social faux pas in our society though, so you might want to find a different society first if you'd like to enjoy tasty humans.

Are you honestly this much of a relativist?


I don't see a problem with eating humans, if you want to and they/their families are okay with it. Killing humans is what is unethical.


Right, killing is what I was talking about. This thread started with someone mentioning the morality of "eating chickens", and I just copied that phrasing.


Well I can't really tell, I've grown up knowing that eating humans is bad. It's just the way it's always been.

I've also grown up knowing that cats and dogs are not for eating. And yet, even just a hundred kilometers away, I hear Italians eat plenty of cats and even consider it normal in some areas.


You're witnessing firsthand the stupidity people concoct when they are operating under cognitive dissonance.
