It's high time we all cannibalize.

Sillyness aside, I thought I heard somewhere that human meat is supposed to be similar to that of deer. I have no idea if it's true though.

Not so certain about that. I once heard about how a butcher sold off his murder victims as pork during WWII.

I do know that great white sharks don't much like the taste of humans though. But predators that do eat humans tend to stick to it quite happily.

Maybe it depends on how it's cooked (or not)?

I saw a doco once on these Indian Cannibals (they eat corpses floated down the Ganges - just a little bit, part of some weird religious thing). They described it, IIRC, as "third rate meat" or something, and this from a people who've never even had a decent steak, which'd probably bump it down to fourth rate.

Human flesh is extremely bad for you because it's so full of various toxins. With the crap we put in our bodies these days, it's a wonder that any animals ever eat people. What with artificial perservatives, and carageenen and blah blah blah, all that stuff.

Oh yes, and what are reavers? I thought they were the worm things from Star Craft: Brood War.

I know you...

Black Lion?

No. You don't know me. I was never here. You. Didn't. See. ANYthing.

Check out a Firefly website, and look for Reavers.

Ah. I see now. Not quite as cute as the death-flinging Protoss worms.

I see we're all changing names these days...

I hope you don't mean me, because I'm seriously new here. :O

Heh, you slotted into the conversation so well, everyone thought you were an old member with a new name I think

:welcome:

I'm just that amazing, I guess. xD

Thanks for the welcome, all. *closes one eye tightly and mimics a hook with his finger* Arrrrrgh.

I've never been 100% convinced about all that artificial preservatives stuff. People always go on about how bad all that stuff is for you along with artifical colourings but if you look at it from a scientific standpoint it looks rather odd.

One one hand everyone thinks that these chemicals are bad for you and on the other you have people telling you to eat more fruits and veretables for their anti-oxidants. When you look at the anti-oxidants they're often the same chemicals people have been trying to take out of other food

But they're unnatural!!111oneeleventy

Bit like the whole organic food thing. When you you think of it on the global scale, the one thing we need to do in the world today is improve crop yields, not reduce them by throwing away a century of agricultural progress.
