The real question is: Is cannibalism a question of morals or ethics?

Personally I think it's Ethics, I don't mean killing someone then eating them, I mean, if you found a shop that sold people the only reason you wouldn't buy there is because of ethics.

I think we would be red bloody meat

Because red bloody meat is the best!

The real question is: Is cannibalism a question of morals or ethics?

Well carniflex, I think it would be a little of both.

One reason I think morally because it is the human condition not to eat one another, and also pets.

The second reason I would figure is because humans carry more diseases than any living mammal on earth.

Answer me this....

Do vegetarian cannibals eat soy products that taste like human?

Actually, the color of our meat varies on the type of muscle fiber it is. Slow Twitch fibers are always oxidative and are therefore fatigue resistant. Fast Twitch muscle (Type II) are primarily glycolytic (fatigueable) or oxidative (fatigue resistant).

Slow Twitch fibers, such as those long muscles found in the back and Quadraceps/Hamstrings of the leg, are often called the "red fibers" becuase they contain the red, oxygen-storeing pigment myoglobin. They are essentialy well supplied with oxygen-carrying blood. In addition, red fibers contain many mitochondria and have a high respritory capacity. This is why they can contract for long periods of time.

Fast twitch fibers are often called the "white fibers" because they contain less myoglobin and have a poorer blood supply than red fibers. They inclued muscles found around the hand, eye, and ankles.


Why did I tell you all this? Well, think for instance of birds we eat. Birds that travel long distances have abundant dark meat (slow twitch muscles), and in contrast, chickens that can only flap around the barnyard have abundant fast twitch muscles and thus, mostly white meat! See! Now isent that cool!!


BTW: there is a third type of muscle fiber for those that care. Called fast twitch Type IIb, it's an intermediate fiber that is a mixture of slow and fast, which makes up most fibers in the human body like biceps, triceps, pectoral group (chest), etc etc. They are mostly RED FIBER so yes, we are mostly dark meat when we die and/or are cooked.

actually mango fast twitch type IIb muscles dont actually exist. (in theory) they are just either fast twitch or slow twitch that are trained to perform like the other.

heather i think we taste like a steak but thats just me cause i can really go for some steak and eggs right now.

Hehehehe Heather...this is too funny. Also, they used to kidnap men from bars in the 17-1800's to work as laborers on ships. When the food stores ran out, guess who they had for dinner? Interestingly enough, it was called "long pig".

[i]that movie Alive popped into my head where the soccer team crashed on a desserted mountain and that is what they had to do to survive.[/B]

Looks like someone may be cooking "Rump Roast" for dinner! LOL Sorry, couldn't resist.
