Wouldn't recommend it, where do you think mad cow disease come from, calling themselves cutting cost ranchers was feeding their stock with parts of deceased cattle, throughout history there's tales of cannibalism, people go insane from doing that, but some how those cats in New guinea well guess if that's all you did your whole life, but a famous case was the donner party, settlers from East during Westward expansion, they tried to make it over this mountain pass which carriers their name today in northern Cal called donner pass, but an early winter came in on them suddenly and had to dig in for winter, lasted longer than they had provisions for and they started dying and those barley alive well they did what they had to to survive, same thing happened in Jamestown Virginia when setlers first arrive in this country, they turned to cannibalism, in the 70, s, a soccer or rugby team was flying to some part of South America when their plane crashed in mountains they resorted to same thing before being rescued, in each case their so much shame when it comes to light that people resorted to this , some commit suicide, back in the day it was frowned on to do this and in some countries people were arrested hung or was forced to wear a sign stating that they were cannibals, travel throughout the Pacific Ocean, which is dotted with thousands of tiny islands it's normal for those who live on those islands to consume humans, in the Amazon jungle, parts of Africa, hell Africa is so vast dense, there's tribes existing as they have for last 10 thousand years primitive, creepiest part of Africa is where the plants bushes trees are so tall dense sun light can't even penetrates through unexplored most of it, to this day and if you were to venture in not an experienced you ever forget anyway before I resort to eating humans if there's grass around then it's grass soup for breakfast lunch and dinner why you never leave home without your seasonings just in case

Yes I don't think people here have any idea the mentality they would be in, if they were starving foreal, starving is your body eating itself and to say they wouldn't eat a dead body if they had nothing else, is a lie as your mind will click into survival mode, which is the mode that triggers fear and panic in situations, actually I watched a movie that I think was a true story of a rugby team that got stranded in ice and they ate their teammates when they died, their pee turned black due to dehydration and starvation, I won't lie, in a situation like that I won't say that I won't rely on cannibalism, there's poor countries that do, I'm blessed not to be in such a situation but what I do know is that I wouldn't kill someone to eat them but to be fair I'll settle with them, first to die is food 🤝

[wolfcat87]

Of course, protein is protein. Depends on how they died, are they diseased, how fresh, how clean, etc. But, if we need food then anything edible is fair game.

I'm not going to kill anyone myself, but I'm not dumb enough to turn down free food if the choice is between that and dying.

My family and I already had this discussion as well. Whoever dies first is fair game for the rest in a survival situation. It's not like we need our bodies at that point.

At the end of the day, I'll close my eyes, lie back, and swallow while thinking of England. 😆 Then, I'll live to see another day.

I would never but then people who have been in that position say you don’t know until u’re in that position.


So, I’d say I would never do it while having brain cells still functioning. If it happens, it would be because weeks have passed and ai’ve lost it.

[AviatorTom]

In desperate times, people take desperate actions. I would like to say no, I would not turn into aa cannibal, but in a starve-or-else situation, I'm not really sure what I would do; I know I wouldn't kill the person, but if they died naturally, well, who knows?

[Joshydavid25]

Starvation is crazy.. You're not in your right mind when that happens, so more than likely, you'll eat anything that comes across your path honestly.. That is if you want to survive.. If you are at peace with dying then maybe not.. Me? I don't know how I would respond.. I guess it would depend on my mindset and if I know I'm gonna just prolong my death anyways, I'll just go off alone to die somewhere..

[Miah04]

Yikes.

I wanna say no.

But like if you in one them situations where you about to die from starvation and trapped somewhere, who knows what any of us would do to survive.

[Staximus]

I have a pretty good amount of apocalypse fat stored up. If it was one of my friends or family then no out of respect. If it was somebody I didn't know, probably.

[TheGuyWhoKnowsStuff]

I believe I could resist starving and die with dignity, but I might have to kill the other person to make sure that they don't eat me. I wouldn't eat them though, I'd bury them.

[aceleon]

yes but to be honest i would only want to do that if i was not right in the mind from starvation or do that to someone i hate or feel angry towards.

[LiamJHayden]

I'd like to say "No." but who knows what would happen in that moment if the alternative is death?

[BoopBoopBeep]

When the fit hits the shan, calories are calories and I'm making it off that mountain.

[Anonymous]

Not if they're Chinese. Because if I eat a human being I really only want to do that once. And you know what they say about Chinese food. "You eat it and you're hungry an hour later".

[exitseven]

I imagine if I was starving to death I would. I heard they taste like chicken

[PBandJ_Nerd]

My answer is: NO!

[Pohjolan]

Probably but I think I'd rather risk hiking it down the mountain.

[Kelly6]

Never,

unless it's a dick. joking. lol

[Tomisworthless]

We don’t need you choking to death now 😅

[Anonymous]

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t want to think about that.

[CorneliaUSA]

Could you - Yes. Should you - No

[WindSwept]

Why are you shouting and the answer is no!

[DextroShade]

Yes, assuming I could cook it.

[sheikalana]

I'd rather die.
