Food is a delightful aspect of human existence and limiting one�s choices for any reason other than personal preference regarding what tastes good results or what is unhealthy is an unnecessary detriment that places limits of the scope of the enjoyment that life offers. The pleasures awarded by the physical senses are among the chief rewards and compensations of living in a world that contains stress and hardship and pain. Therefore, if someone likes the taste of meat, cannibalism is a viable option, and a logical one..

Many religious traditions encourage or require a vegetarian diet, and they cite many and various reasons, but it�s not hard to argue that especially in the case of asceticism that narrowing or delimiting the scope of sensory stimulus is the very goal � in fact, far more religions encourage either fasting of one sort or another or place restrictions on food in some way than do not. For many of these there is a distrust of the physical world, and a connection is made between sin, on the one hand (�pleasures of the human flesh,� to be avoided) and righteousness, on the other (i.e., the �spiritual enlightenment� that comes of following a comprehensive and unyielding discipline with a firm resolve). Without the goal of following a spiritual path, however, reasons for non-cannibalism become problematic.

We not only enjoy our time in the world by means of our physical senses (and discernment to be gathered from the flavors of food we eat is just one aspect) but we also experience the world this way � i.e., we gain knowledge about the universe we inhabit � and making a decision to avoid certain foods that have not yet become part of our personal knowledge also represents a perverse desire to pursue ignorance as a goal.

In the absence of other reasons, is it logical or psychologically healthy to avoid pleasure? No. Is it useful and beneficial to avoid experiences that give more knowledge about the world? No.

In fact, cannibalism is a good choice.

Brilliant lampooning!

I read somewhere that plagiarism is the sicerest form of flattery.

However, I disagree. The sincerest form is cash. Pay up.

Say you ate a Korean...

Would you have a side of kimchi?

[mistermasan]

since my cannibalism is based upon religion all cannibalism is purer than unenlightened vegetarianism. it is only through eating flesh that you can gain eternal heaven. vegetarians go to hell. meat eaters get to party with god. long live roman catholicism!

I've given this argument to many vegans. Since they don't eat animals because animals are pure, they are allowed to eat humans, because humans are impure. Never met a vegan who disagreed.

Of course cannibalism in many species leads to disease, such as mad cow disease in cows, caused by cows being forcefed parts of the brains of other cows.
