    I kid you not. In my nutrition class last semester, my professor had us watch a movie about Mad Cow Disease and there was this tribe of cannibalistic people that ate there dead as an homage to them. The men always got top pick of the body and the next the women and the children. The women and children would usually come down with Mad Cow Disease symptoms and they couldn't figure out why.

    It was because of the body picks that were left over. I can't remember which tissue it is but which ever tissue it was that was the one that carried the virus or defective protein. It turns the brain to sponge by eating holes through it. Gross. I see if I can find something on youtube about this.

    Source(s): http://www.umm.edu/features/madcow.htm http://rarediseases.about.com/od/rarediseases1/a/v... Couldn't find anything useful on youtube... So you'll have to read about it. Btw, DFA is completely serious. Just a warning. v v v v v v v v v v

    Cannibalism is wrong and people became cannibals for various reasons. For some it was just evil practices, others it was lack of meat and for others it was the long winters with nothing to eat and limited harvests to carry them throughout that harsh season. If you want me to elaborate more I will.

    SIMONSEZ, there have been isolated incidents of modern day cannibalism around the world like the ones you highlighted. Here is another example http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3286721.stm If you want more let us know.

    Yes. But I don't think we'd taste good. I think we'd probably taste something like pork and even though I don't eat pork, I don't like the way it smells.

    And you can get really sick from eating other people. Even if they're cooked enough.

    i don't wonder about being a cannibal, but i wonder what human tastes like

    Not really. But I think I heard it or read it somewhere that human meat is actually more dirty and dangerous than the other meats that we eat. Just think about all those chemicals that we put in our body. ^_^"
