I've noticed a lot that people tend to have more sympathy for abused animals than humans.

Is there such a thing as ethical consumption of human?

    I'm afraid of prion diseases so the choice is pretty obviously dog meat

    I'm also not a dog person, at all, I don't care for them so the whole equivocating dogs with cows schtick means fuckall to me

    Consenting human > dog > human

    Only the first would I ever eat outside an emergency.

        The flesh of a consenting human is the only ethical animal meal.

    Dog meat. Dogs live much shorter lives so if you had to eat something it'd be the dog. Also I'm pretty sure there's something about how cannibalism is better at spreading diseases than eating other species?

    But I'd still eat a person if I absolutely had to, if they were a shitty person/much older.

    Also, a hormone-fueled keto specialist like Joe Rogan probably tastes like absolute shit. I reckon a young, healthy vegan is a top order.

    Most people I know are probably not super edible, like maybe we have some nice fat to our meat but the toxin levels are certainly not low.

    That aside, idk what sort of situation you need to make that choice though: like for survival I would eat anything I had to, but I wouldn't kill either to survive (especially because either could help me survive better by being alive), if it's like 'what we would be more offended by finding out was really in a dish we were served' I'd be pretty pissed about either (or really about anything being swapped out and not mentioned, even if it was chicken to turkey or tofu to bean).

      100% human.

      Ethics-wise, cellular agriculture would be the dream. But there was also that guy who had his leg amputated and made it into tacos.

      I envision a future where the only meat people eat is their own, cultured in massive bioreactors.

    Ethical human meat

    • If the person you eat dies from natural causes and explicitly allowed you to eat them
    • If it has been grown in a vat
    • If you are in a situation like a siege or a famine where eating human meat is a question of survival
    • If it's a cop

    I'm pretty sure if i was ground up and sauteed my dog would smash, so I would sooner eat dog.

    I understand why eating human meat is taboo, but like...eh. Wouldn't mind trying it once, just to see. I take eating the rich seriously, and think the symbolism would make for a very memorable experience to look back on.

    I guess I'd describe myself as cannibal-curious
