There is a reason movies, TV shows, and books about cannibalism are always rated as horror or thriller, from “A Certain Hunger” to “Yellowjackets,” to “Tender Is The Flesh,” to “Raw” and many others, going back to 1973’s “Soylent Green.”
That reason is because cannibalism is the practice of humans eating other humans, that was common for a variety of reasons in many regions until it became prohibited by modern civilization for reasons that shouldn’t have to be explained.
Throughout the past couple of decades, not only has cannibalism been used to terrify the masses as “entertainment,” but it has become a topic of many and article, and in most cases, other than medical pieces, it almost seems as if writers are attempting to normalize the practice.

The latest of which is from the NewScientist, which headlines its February 14, 2024 piece, with “Is it time for a more subtle view on the ultimate taboo: cannibalism?”
The article had this to say about the ethics of cannibalism; “Ethically, cannibalism poses fewer issues than you might imagine. If a body can be bequeathed with consent to medical science, why can’t it be left to…feed the hungry?”
It isn’t bad enough they are trying to get us to eat bugs and insects, but now questioning whether humans should be eating other humans to help with world hunger? Seriously?????
The kicker though, is the suggestion that racism was used to make cannibalism a taboo.
Our aversion has been explained in various ways. Perhaps it is down to the fact that, in Western religious traditions, bodies are seen as the seat of the soul and have a whiff of the sacred. Or maybe it is culturally ingrained, with roots in early modern colonialism, when racist stereotypes of the cannibal were concocted to justify subjugation. These came to represent the “other” to Western societies – and revulsion towards cannibalism became a tenet of their moral conscience.
Alrighty then.
Racism and religion, the two things apparently being blamed for turning cannibalism into a taboo. Could the writer be more clear about their hatred for religion as to liken it to racism?
It is almost as if they are casting blame for the fact that human flesh is not being sold at the grocery store!
More disturbing to my mind, is that technically cannibalism itself is not against the law in the U.S. and only by the grace of other types of laws are the only reason mental ill people aren’t eating Aunt Edna for dinner after she died.
Cornell Law School explains: “Cannibalism is defined as the consumption of another human’s body matter, whether consensual or not. In the United States, there are no laws against cannibalism per se, but most, if not all, states have enacted laws that indirectly make it impossible to legally obtain and consume the body matter. Murder, for instance, is a likely criminal charge, regardless of any consent. Further, even if someone consents to being eaten and ends their own life, the cannibal may still be liable for criminal or civil actions based on laws governing the abuse or desecration of a corpse, which vary by jurisdiction.”
Never before have I been happy about extra laws passed.
