Scientist Suggests Eating Human Flesh to Fight Climate Change
Stockholm School of Economics professor and researcher Magnus Soderlund reportedly said he believes eating human meat, derived from dead bodies, might be able to help save the human race if only a world society were to “awaken the idea.”
Soderlund’s argument for human cannibalism was front and center during a panel talk called “Can You Imagine Eating Human Flesh?” at the Gastro Summit, reports the Epoch Times. “Conservative” taboos against cannibalism, he said, can change over time if people simply tried eating human flesh.
Some of the talking points at the seminar included whether humans were too selfish to “live sustainably” and if cannibalism is the solution to food sustainability in the future.
When asked during an interview after his talk if he personally would try human flesh, Soderlund said he was open to the idea.
“I feel somewhat hesitant but to not appear overly conservative … I’d have to say … I’d be open to at least tasting it,” he told Sweden’s TV4.
He suggested more plausible options such as eating pets and insects.
Before human meat becomes the next cuisine trend, however, history shows there are potential health risks to cannibalism.
A tribe in Papua New Guinea practiced eating their dead as an alternative to allowing them to be consumed by worms, according to the Standard. The cultural practice led to an epidemic of a disease called Kuru, also known as laughing death.
According to the US National Library of Medicine, the disease is caused by an infectious protein found in contaminated human brain tissue. The practice of cannibalism among the people of New Guinea came to an end in 1960.

"A Modest Proposal" By Jonathon Swift. First printed in 1724.
Same premise, but for different purposes. Swift suggested eating the poor.

Meanwhile, Swedish authorities requested a warrant to investigate reports of a foul odor emanating from Dr. Soderlund's basement.

No...but maybe if they were listed as an ingredient on a bag of dog food.

Well, you're a bald-faced liar and this is all just empty posturing, but let's take you seriously for just a second.
Let's get the filthiest, most disease-ridden, stinking alcoholic drug addict homeless guy, freshly dead, right off the street, and let's plop his oozing carcass on your kitchen counter.
So, you undress him, wash him (I'd recommend the scalding process they use for hogs), hang him up, bleed him, gut him and quarter him. Once you get him into manageable pieces, you can begin to debone and filet him.
I mean, you don't expect that someone else is going to commit these vile acts, do you, Mister Smart Shit? Huh? What, you think that this is going to be done for you at your favorite restaurant, with bite-sized pieces of a human being presented to you on a fancy platter as delectable hors d'oeuvree? Uh uh. You're gonna do it your own damn self.
Now, we've got some tools for you, including a chainsaw and a very large meat cleaver. Chains to hang the carcass, boning knives, whatever you need. You're gonna need a place to drain him. Your shower, perhaps?
What are you waiting on, you sick asshole? Go ahead. Become a cannibal, but don't expect any help with losing your soul, you disgusting sack of shit.
