Healthy Living

Anthropophagy has been on my mind lately or, more plainly, cannibalism.

It seems to me that if you're a cannibal living in modern times, humans would be a dietary disaster. Consider the intoxicating levels of soda, mass produced junk food, and genetically modified things we shove down our throats each day. Think back on it, I can't remember the last time I ate something that other people eat that wasn't tainted with human fiddling. The fruit in the store has been fiddled with, the vegetables have been fiddled with, and even good old bread has been manipulated in some way. So, thinking on this and the general assumption that most humans throw dietary consideration out the window, how healthy could a cannibal actually be?

Well, let's reconsider. I live in the United States and therefore, on any given day, people could be consuming any manner of chemical concoction that McDonald's has dreamed up, but what about some place like Africa?

Ahh...Africa; the cradle of civilization, if you will. On a side note, cradles often contain babies which, by knowledge of the taste of veal, we can assume are rather tasty. However, back to Africa; land of fruits, nuts, and lions. It seems to me if you were in the market for a tasty human steak, Africa would be the place to find it. Many of the inhabitants of inner Africa have never actually heard of McDonalds or even a burger. Sounds like Africa contains some quality organically raised humans.

But, you say, I'm not a fan of dark meat. Don't worry, the Inuit Indians of the Artic have been preserved in the sub-zero temperatures of the north free from the genetically modified and distorted food found further south.

Thus, in conclusion, I find that although modern day anthropophagists may find it more difficult to find find a healthy bite to eat, good food can be had if you know where to look.
