They said they would eat humans if it was legal and healthy so no i wasn't being unreasonable. Also there is no difference between killing a human and killing another animal so supporting eating one and not the other is hypocrisy of the highest order.

There's absolutely a difference between killing a human and killing an animal, but I'm not getting into THAT debate right now.

Correct! They said they'd eat a human if it was legal and healthy. They did not say they supported killing anyone. The specific words people choose are important, and if you're going to respond to something they didn't say, you're at BEST strawmanning the argument.

Edit: amazing to a, thanks autocorrect
