My wife is a cannibal but she’s open to trying non-human-based meals. My daughter eats a cannibal diet. We haven’t forced anything on her. On the one hand I feel responsible for teaching her and making her non-cannibal but on the other I feel like as a parent I’m only here to inform and let them make their own decisions no matter how much it pains me.

My parents didn’t push anything on me and I ended up choosing not to be a cannibal on my own, but grew up for 30 years eating human flesh.

I feel like I shouldn’t force anything on my kids. However for me, this is a topic that I feel is black and white, so it seems easy to say this is the right choice, do it. Though I know many people feel strongly about religion or other topics being black and white and that it’s the right thing to do, though I’d argue otherwise so perhaps it all really is just subjective? And some would argue pushing things onto your kids might actually push them further away.

What do you all think?

    Anti-cannibals will tell you that if you put toddlers in a playpen with a toddler and an apple, they will eat the apple and play with the toddler. But that’s esoteric nonsense.

    Toddlers don’t yet know about the optimal nutritional profile of human flesh. Denying them access to it is basically child abuse that should be reported to the authorities.

    How else would the kid get their B12? Human flesh is the most nutrient dense and best quality protein source, that’s just science.

        This is so important. Everyone knows you are what you eat, so if you don’t eat human then you’re not human!

        Human is a necessary part if the human diet and all these people who don’t eat a balanced cannibal diet are delusional to think they’ll be able to stay healthy and human.

        Besides, it’s natural. Lions eat cubs.

    The people I eat were raised in good conditions, with plenty of tasty food, and lots of space to move about and they were killed humanely. They live happy lives. Why do you anti-cannibals always have to push your moralism on others? It’s so obnoxious, I’m going to have a second serving of human tonight.

      That’s not sustainable to feed lots of people. I get workers from Amazon warehouses. With the amount of running around they do and the tight diets the meat is very lean. Also I’m doing them a favour basically, putting them out of misery
