As Woody Allen noticed, we live in a restaurant and are all on the menu. It's just nobody these days is ordering people burgers with french fries. Yet.
Wait until global warming really starts to hit and food production starts to decline precipitously. The elite are doing their best to destroy civilization and no doubt are the best fed. A juicy stockbroker well done stuffed with mushrooms, parsley, breadcrumbs and a dusting of oregano and Parmesan and fried onions doesn't sound too bad. Baste with a mix of bouillon and melted butter fo the first stage and allow a nice crust to develop in the last hour or so. Makes my mouth water.

Gads. I always say ` Gads!
I get scolded if I say`Gaud!
God doesn't want to Chat!
`
I pass on some imageries.
I think on what's beauty.

Maybe the stew lima beans.
I no describe God or views.
God may Love macaroons.
`
I recall God refrains Love.
If we Love too much? ay.
Folk may eat others up.
So -
Gaud holds Love back.
I am not a theologian,
pediatrician, lawyer,
nor a taxidermist.
`
As I write the local Fire siren sounded.
When that happens fox howl and bark.
There are some coyotes in these woods.
Good night. Annoy a few folk every day.

The Carpenters sang about this:

Can't we stop eating each other
Gotta stop eating each other
Making each other cry
Tearing each other apart...

I was wondering what the next low would be. Bleh. Biohazard.

Jan, I think it's the poor who are gonna get et - that's why they're getting plumped up with junk food.

Art - And they'll be served with lima beans and macaroons ... tho that doesn't sound like banker food.

Snippy - The Carpenters were great social commentators. Or something.

Phyllis - who-da thunk?

EEEEUuuuuwwww!

Ratings needed a boost?

Susie - Chicken! I mean, I imagine these guys reported that they tasted like chicken. (I didn't play the video, so I'm just guessing...)

Chrissie - Hope it doesn't catch on!

Soylent Green...

Keri - so far it's confined to appetizers. But that's the first breach in the dykes...so to speak.

weird. just weird.

Nummy!! ~:D

Not exactly the Donner party, but still gross!

The Dutch are a strange and wonderful people. (I read the article, but couldn't watch the video. gah.) ~r

Why? Why? Why? (Nausea wave)

Actually, humans have a long history of eating each other. Probably we taste a bit like pork.

Jan said it! This is not as unexpected as it is well...not unexpected. r.

Yecchh! I think I prefer the good way.

Sounds as though they were taking Robert Heinlein too seriously. I think the character Valentine Michael Smith in Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land advocates a form of that sort of thing (albeit on deceased loved ones).

Takes all kinds of nuts to make a nut salad.

If it's good enough for Mike Tyson....

This is going to become a problem Myriad, I tried to tell you.

"a good story about the decline of western civilization." is what it is.

@Frank Apisa

No, Frank, you misinterpreted. "Stranger in a Strange Land" was the Christ story in a SF context. And Catholics regularly feast on the body and the blood of Christ, at least symbolically. For actual cannibalism in Heinlein read "Farnham's Freehold" .

This reminds me of the movie " The Cook, The Thief, The Wife, and Her Lover." I think you can see it on Netflix. What a great treat to celebrate New Years Eve! Or not...

I love Dutch TV hosts...they taste like chicken.

(oh, c'mon...you knew someone was going to say it!)

the Vast Wasteland Strikes Again

@ Abrawang: LOL! I KNOW I do.

Lezlie

Since I swore off eating meat a while back my cholesterol situation has improved immensely so eating humans more or less has lost the appeal it once had. I no longer salivate on perceiving a nice piece of ass. But once I passed the age of 85 I have been informed this is a normal reaction.

They say pork is the closest thing to tasting like human, (I don't know how they came to that conclusion though.)

There's only one way to find out.

I'm at a loss for words on this one. Although I'm kind of glad it was their own flesh.

Frank - "long pig", yes.

Jan - I note that one of the bits of flesh was literally a piece of ass.

jlsathre - and mutual

Ric - I believe there is testimony to that effect from people in New Guinea who regularly ate both human and pig meat.

Lezlie - right on

Jan - that body & blood of Christ ain't "symbolic" - it is the miracle of transubstantiation whereby the wine and bread REALLY BECOME the holy body and blood. (And people think we Wiccans are weird.)

vzn - indeed

Lisa - haha. (I suspect it tasted more like 'bush meat' - the term in Africa for monkey or ape meat.)

ccdarling - sounds like a movie to avoid

d white - yup

Jack - I should pay more attention

Michael - at least these guys cooked it up (yurk). Mike ate it raw.

Linnn - I wonder who came up with the idea. And who said, hey, yeah, let's do it

Mime - yeah...

Tink - see Mime's comment

Scanner - nor like those guys in the plane crash - no excuses

Joan - yeah, me neither

Jonathan - they're getting us used to the whole idea, starting small and 'humorously'

Abra - you, me and Lezlie...

Frank - no shortage of nuts in this nut salad of a world

Myriad - that should make the next meet-up kind of interesting.

It should be noted that Creutzfeld Jacob disease and kuru, prion diseases, can result from consuming human flesh.

I'm of the mind that anything tastes good with enough catsup on it.

Jan,you'd rather starve than take a bite of any stockbroker,I am sure.
Myriad:Are you planning a BBQ?
Sorry,I can' accept your invitation.I am allergic to Human Flesh,at lesst to some.Fro sure I would not eat the fat ones.
R

PS:Be aware of the stockbroker delicacy.The flesh might be contagious.

Abrawang - Approach with caution

Jan - so true. Another reason to be careful.

Margaret - phooey on ketchup. Hot sauce now, or a good curry...

Heidi - oh come to my BBQ - grilled veggies only

Myriad:sounds like fun.Can you give the date through?
Early enough though;the crowd here might need time for arrangements like pets(they better stay at home in case someone mistakes them for human beings)..and a few won't make it in two hrs.
