[FOOD] Production - Humans ???

Postby sciencegirl » Wed 16 Aug 2006, 12:14:03

If the worst does come to pass, maybe people would turn to cannibalism. It is a pretty disturbing thought. Who knows what people are capable of when they are starving. Does anyone think that people would/could ever turn to cannibalism ?

I would hate to work at a grocery store only to have someone ask, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can" ? 8O

you only have to look at history to see that cannibalism will happen again.

oh and if cannabalism does come to pass there will be no grocery store.

Yes there will be cannabalism. I'm sure of it if we have a total societal collapse like I think we will.

Especially with the way we have humans jam packed in cities now. Human flesh is gonna be the most abundant source of meat around.

They say the taste of human flesh is similar to pork. Perhaps that's one of the reasons so many religions and cultures frown on it's consumption.

Then again, for those of you who can't stomach the idea, there's always hufu...

Long Pig, the Other White Meat: It's 'What's for Dinner?'

Postby vox_mundi » Thu 06 Apr 2017, 11:10:30

How many calories is that human? A nutritional guide for prehistoric cannibals

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]If you were to eat, say, another human being, how many calories would you be taking in? That’s a valid question not only for health-conscious people, but for anthropologists, too. You see, our human ancestors were cannibals — but we don’t really know why. Did they kill and eat each other like they would a mammoth or a wholly rhino — for the meat? Or were they practicing some sort of religious ritual?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Maybe they are easier to catch?

To answer that question, James Cole, a senior lecturer in archaeology at the University of Brighton, looked into the nutritional value of a human being and then compared it to that of other animals our ancestors dined on. He found that eating a man provides fewer calories than gobbling down a mammoth, bison, or red deer. And that suggests that our ancestors ate each other not for nutrition but for some other purpose — maybe as a form of funerary or cultural ritual. The findings were published today in the journal Scientific Reports.
