Why don’t we eat each other for dinner? Too few calories, says new cannibalism study

By Michael PriceApr. 6, 2017 , 9:00 AM

Humans may be the most dangerous game, but they're hardly the most nutritious (despite evidence of cannibalism, like these skulls found on an island in Fiji, above). A new, slightly morbid study based on the calorie counts of average humans suggests that human-eating was mostly ritualistic, not dietary, in nature among hominins including Homo erectus, H. antecessor, Neandertals, and early modern humans. To find out just how many calories an average body packs, one researcher used a pair of studies from 1945 and 1956 that analyzed the chemical compositions of four adult males whose bodies were donated to science.

It's even worse if you ever try to eat natural vegans! They taste like Beef, lamb, venison, rabbit.
Pork and chicken, on the other hand are a little on the dry side when cooked.. Still tasty!

The trouble is you have to kill 5 or six at a time to make a nice meal. An even then you cant live on them for long. It’s like “rabbit starvation” Your fully whacked out Vegan is very lean and doesn’t contain much in the way of nutrients or fat, just protein.

The headline suggests that if humans had more calories, we'd eat each other. lol
