Oh, my. To quote a line from some movie, some where or another, “I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.”
That’s the closest comment I can think about after reading that information.
Throughout history famine via wars or floods/drought/government induced acts have driven humans to acts of cannibalism and those who resorted to that act lived with what they did...
I literally thank the Lord that I’ve never been in that type of position. It must be a particular Hell having to make that decision....
It must have been an unusual circumstance indeed -- or, as the topic article notes, cannibalism may have been a common practice, and may even have been part of the honoring of the dead, as he terms it, "transumption".
