Would you eat a human?

[bientang]

Of course not. But in my country some people eat human to get black magic. And some case eat human revealed in my country and they said it for black magic. But for me althought get secret power or black magic i will never do it. chicken and cow is more delicious 

How can you be sure than chicken and meat is more tasty than human meat? If you have tasted human meat earlier, then it is a different story. I don't think that you will be able to distinguish between human meat and some other meat (veal or pork), if you have no prior information about it. The taste may be very similar to that of other read meat.

I think i don't need to tasted it. I know what better to eat and not for me. So i am sure chicken is more delicious. Why? because i am normal person.

Yes indeed. I could eat a human with a knife and a fork. Or tartar sauce. I'm not a barbarian, but when we have gotten to this point, we are assuming two things:

1) said tender, delicious human has died of natural causes and at this point is a burden/liability

2) there is a lack of other available food, IE a "shit hit the fan" situation

In this scenario, im not so much seeing a human as much as I'm seeing a readily available, rapidly spoiling source of macronutrients. If we put the body outside, something is going to eat it. Why let all that meat go to waste? If I die, I say, eat me with gusto. I suggest lime and cilantro.

If that must be done to save life, you can fuck the ethics of life and do it. Speaking of it, I have watched an anime where this scenario happened.
They are going on a trip and had an accident, they fell on a deep cliff, luckily they survived, but after that is more challenging. No food and they can't get out of the forest. After weeks they have no food and they're other classmates are dying which the idea of eating humans is the choice of the food gatherer. When they deliver they're dead classmate, they cut it to pieces and show it to their other classmates like an animal meat. Gross.

When there is a choice to survive or die, no one will think about the ethical and moral aspects of what is at stake. The main task is to survive so that there is available. So I fully agree with your opinion. We are not cannibals, it may be the price of the lives of others.

What is similar to human flesh?  In his 1931 book "The ways of the jungle" American traveler and journalist William Buehler Seabrook gives the most detailed in the history of the written description of the taste of human flesh. Seabrook said that raw human meat looks like beef, but less red, a pale yellow oil.  Roasted meat also becomes grayish, as would happen with lamb or veal, and smells like cooked beef. As for taste, Seabrook writes that the meat was almost like "good, fully disclose the veal, so I think - one with normal, conventional flavoring sensitivity could not distinguish it from veal."

[Gilf]

What if it was the sacrificed child of your enemy? What if it gave you secret powers? What if it held the key to world domination? Would you do it? Would you eat another person?

There was a miss, when TV presenter Greg Foot in the program on the BBC tried to answer the question, what is the taste of human flesh. For help, he turned to the doctor. From the foot of the journalist with a special tool removed a small piece of muscle. However, the taste of her, he could not. During the experiment, it was found out that the taste of human flesh, even your own, is illegal.

no matter how desperate we are, it's better not ever do something like that, urgency is not an excuse to eat a fellow (human).

So my question is, if someone cooks up human meat with all the necessary spices and salts, and serves it saying that it is veal, will you be able to distinguish it? How can you differentiate between veal and human meat, if the taste is the same?

Humans have an instinct to survive, if in urgent circumstances eat a fellow human it can happen if you can not hold this instinct. But I also just like you to not eat a fellow human. I think in urgent circumstances like anything else, there must be an animal or plant that is still edible, so we could still eat besides human flesh. I ever read an article said human flesh tastes like pork

[nanayueky]

No matter what happens, I will not eat humans.

[Flamma]

No matter how hungry I am. No matter what it takes to survived. I won't eat my own. Cannibalism was mentioned in the Bible. Although there is no direct statement such as, “Thou shalt not eat human flesh,” the obvious indication from Scripture is that cannibalism is a terrible evil. God provide us everything, so why we should consider eating our own if there are alternative ways to survive? I respect life since it is God given. I ready eat a grass to survive.

Only to survive

I would imagine not. While the flavor of proteins vary, certain preparations (grilling for example) or heavy seasoning would do alot to make the protein unidentifiable. If you were to make a jerky for example, the extreme umami, as well as the salt and texture, would make it very difficult to identify exactly what meat you were eating. Same with a stew, with a long enough cook time, and enough aromatics, the finished flavor/texture would make it hard as everything has emulsified partially.

With the way America allows food to be constructed (I meant construction, not cooking) , with its multiple sources of protein in a single "meat" product, you have most likely eaten a fractional amount of human DNA. through misadventure, (blood, hair/nails, and maybe the odd ground up finger or two) shit gets in the vat sometimes. Read about the pre regulation meat packing industry if you have already had your breakfast.

Now I say 'no, I'd never eat another human being' but then again: what is it's my only way for survival? I think I'd still decline but one can never really know until presented with the situation.

[jems]

i don't want to be an cannibal

[schnötzel]

Never say never. But no, i won´t 

[Sithara007]

Now I say 'no, I'd never eat another human being' but then again: what is it's my only way for survival? I think I'd still decline but one can never really know until presented with the situation.

This is the most logical reply. You can't be sure unless you face such a situation. After going without food for a few days, you will not be able to think normally, and will do anything to survive.

[Mitcsell]

Now I say 'no, I'd never eat another human being' but then again: what is it's my only way for survival? I think I'd still decline but one can never really know until presented with the situation.

Here, my friend, you correctly said that if you do not get caught in such a situation, you can not answer objectively. Let it be better that nothing like this happens to anyone, let everyone live and never know it.

[kodes88]

Of course not. But in my country some people eat human to get black magic. And some case eat human revealed in my country and they said it for black magic. But for me althought get secret power or black magic i will never do it. chicken and cow is more delicious

I think i don't need to tasted it. I know what better to eat and not for me. So i am sure chicken is more delicious. Why? because i am normal person.

we do not need to eat human flesh beforehand to know that chicken is better. In logic and common sense humans, chickens taste better than human flesh. If it turns out the human flesh tastes better than chicken, I do not care. God provides the chickens, cows, goats etc. They provided for us and our livestock consumption, and the man was not created to become human food.
