You an' me baby, ain't nothin' but mammals so let's do it like they do on the good cooking channels

Cannibal by Tally Hall type situation (though unlikely, as I am boring and my flesh is probably sub-par quality due to poor health), maybe with me listening to that* while zonked out my gourd sauteing a chunk of my own arm with mixed vegetables. I usually don't cook meat though, so maybe they'd do that bit.

* Also relevant but more of an emo aesthetic, Misery Meat or People Eater by Sodikken

When "eating somebody out" suddenly gets a new meaning.

You can make any meat in the lab. Why stop at cow? I want all the tastes.

"We mix celebrity and animal meats, grown in house through a proprietary culturing process, into curated salami blends," says the BiteLabs website.

How do you guarantee that? If it's just a matter of asking consent, that's probably illegal. If the person died from other causes (illness, accidents, old age etc.), I'd question whether it's safe (illness) or palatable (old age) to eat that meat.

Not that I want to link to reddit, but there was a thread from a guy who had to have his foot amputated due to injury. He took it home, prepared it and then ate it. https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8p5xlj/hi_all_i_am_a_man_who_ate_a_portion_of_his_own/

I have a hard time believing that the foot was entirely unaffected by the injury ... it's whatever if it's your own limb, but I wouldn't eat someone else's limb that was amputated due to injury.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

He did state that the limb was healthy, and he could have kept it, but it wasn't structurally sound enough to take his weight. Hence there wouldn't have been gangrene or anything like that.

Gangrene's kinda nasty, I agree. Come to think of it, it would be like eating severely spoiled meat. There's a reason doctors cut that stuff out of you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It was an elective amputation because he couldn't walk on it, I didn't see any mention of gangrene or anything else infectious.

It was not a case where it was removed for threatening his life like gangrene would have been.

Just sign up to be a meat donor like you sign up to be an organ donor. if you were healthy enough to have your organs harvested at death, you were healthy enough to eat (probably idk).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Cloned meat would satisfy the requirement

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It would probably be enough fitting: If you work in a mortuary, an you have cases of young people that consented to donate their dead body to whatever. I mean they are dead anyway. And they get cremated. So know harm in taking the calf.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah well, I'm only eating people that died by suicide, then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

they say it tastes like gamey pork and on that basis, no

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago
