It does not appear to have posted:The Grey Wolf said:Assumptions can be dangerous. Im not just talking moral. Im talking in a serious "Why cant I sit down and eat a Man-burger" sense. I mean I actually am interested in why eating the healthyest food on the planet is so bad. :149:
Your assumption that human flesh is somehow healthy to humans is patently in error.
I said before:"Well, murder is not an excuse normally for cannibalism. However, there is a real danger to cannibalism in a health sense. It is far too easy to transmit deisease - prion diseases, like kuru and Alzheimer;s, virus diseases like AIDS, Hepatitis, bacterial diseases like sepsis, flesh-eating bacteria, protozoan diseases like Dengue Fever and Malaria, parastical infections like tapeworms, trichinosis, etc.
Man is an omnivore, and like pigs, bears and other omnivores cannibalism is contra-survival for the species."
kuru, for instance, is passed on only by eating infected human brain tissue. Kuru is endemic in the population still, and how firmly lodged must it have been in the society for it to have developed successfully such a limited method of transmission? Cannibalism in that instance is obviously contrary to good health.
Prion diseases, like kuru, Alzheimer's, Mad Cow can be transmitted even when the meat is thoroughly cooked.
