I have seen this several times on online news, but it seemed too strange and far fetched for me to think this could even be being said. Here is a link to an article on Smithsonian.com describing what human flesh tastes like. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/human-flesh-looks-beef-taste-more-elusive-180949562/ I can’t even see HOW eating people would make any kind of difference , even if climate change were real (which I doubt anyway), and I haven’t really read most of the articles because the whole idea of eating another human is so repulsive to me. Here is just some of the places where this kind of thing is coming out.
Just another PhD trying to legitimize a perversion. With today’s political (not scientific) atmosphere, Jeffery Dahmer should have adopted that defense.
When I read that article about cannibalism from the Smithsonian Institute, it really made me aware of the fact that unless we can see the whole creature (or at least a good part of it), it would be hard to tell what was being put in things like hamburger and sausages, or other canned meats. I am sincerely hoping that we are not headed in this direction, but this world has changed so many things from how I always thought it would be, that I am no longer sure what or what not to expect next. They want to add the aborted fetuses to vaccines, and lower the age of consent for girls down to age 10, and now the possibility that “Soylent Green” could also happen , is no longer looming far on the horizon. I am thinking that I will have chicken and fish, that I can actually SEE what I am eating, and nothing that is ground up or processed, if this actually turns out to be something that is being contemplated. Maybe becoming a vegetarian is a possibility in the future, too; because when the chicken and fish are farm raised commercially, who knows what they have been fed ?
There was a movie a decade or so ago with Ewan McGregor, called the Island something, and this was what it was about. Dead humans were being turned into edible pellets. It's another one of those things that I would like to think would never happen, but lots of other things which were on my 'never gonna happen' list 10 years ago ARE happening now. I no longer have any confidence in the world not going entirely crazy. It makes me glad I'm on the tail end of my journey here.
Here is yet another strange article, about the state of Oklahoma introducing a bill which prohibits “the manufacture or sale of food products which use aborted human fetuses”. Why would they even think that they need a law about something like this ? That it is allowed to abort babies up until birth is bad enough, and that they use the stem cells for research; but now they are using it to add something into our food ? This article comes from NPR, so it is not just from one of the drama newspapers like National Enquirer. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo...ets-visceral-reaction?utm_campaign=storyshare The more I read this kind of stuff, the more I think that I want to be a vegetarian.
@Yvonne Smith Is it possible that bill was aimed at prohibiting such usage in foodstuffs for animals or pets? Frank
I would guess that some usage is in animal foods, although much of that already comes from dead bodies of pets who are euthanized either at vet clinics, animal control facilities, or research developers, as well as the scraps from the meat processing plants. Some of these “recycled” products are used as added protein and fed to chickens, cattle, and pigs being raised for slaughter, so not just in dog and ct food , but also it is being fed to animals who normally would not consume animal products as food (example, ruminants). When being used for human food products, some of the fetal tissue is used for testing artificial flavors, and is not actually added to the food that we purchase to eat. However, many of the prescription drugs and also vaccines do have this added. Here is a list of some of the things that people use on a regular basis that have human fetus parts in them. This list is from 2018. https://cogforlife.org/wp-content/uploads/fetalproductsall.pdf
According to Natural News, tissue from aborted babies is used as flavor additives in processed foods by Pepsi, Nestle, Kraft, and others, as well as in vaccines. A site for Seattle Organic Restaurants says much the same, probably getting its information from the same place. I don't know if there's any truth in it, however.
