  2. I could eat it as long as it was lab grown. Who knows if I was in a position where I was starving and there was a human corpse there for the taking I might even eat that. Even people who don’t eat meat might if it was their only chance of survival.

    • Yes Fifi, I see that. First they start eating underdone meat then rare then raw fish, now human meat. We here in South Africa have a raw meat related dangerous epidemic called Listeria it has already killed several hundred people. At the moment giant meat processing companies are about to close down after a class action. The worst thing about it, is that no one really knows what’s causing it. Maybe these rich meat gluttons should get a few listeria cases. It seems as though it may have come from South America who make and supply a kind of animal waste “sludge” (heads, gizzards, feet skins etc) which is used in the processed meat industry, polony’s, sausages and burgers worldwide. (sounds like a kind of mad cow disease) If you have to eat meat, make sure it’s well cooked. PS even stored at below freezing, doesn’t kill it.
