Vanderbilt Anthropology Professor Beth Conklin has written sympathetically about cannibalism in research she has done on the Wari' tribe that lives in the Amazon. According to Conklin, "We assume that cannibalism is always an aggressive, barbaric and degrading act. But that is a serious over-simplification, one that has kept us from realizing that cannibalism can have positive meanings and motives that are not that far from our own experience," says Conklin.

You all really should be more tolerant and understanding.

The professor was probably referring to a religion that is very popular in the United States
