Would you eat someone to stay alive?

ColeTrain

We'll just use the scenario from the film Alive

Uruguayan rugby team stranded in the snow swept Andes are forced to use desperate measures to survive after a plane crash. There is also a kilo of Afghan Hashish on board and everyone has been smoking and have the munchies bad

^^ If you were on that freezing cold mountain surrounded by your Uruguayan team mates, starving, stoned and with no access to Subway or Supermacs, would you eat a pound of Jose's flesh to sustain yourself? Poll to follow.

Personally I wouldn't. Imagine if you were rescued and got home, I'd say you'd get some dirty looks off people in your local - "look Jim, that lads a cannibal".

So you'd be worried about being given the cold shoulder then?

If it's true humans taste like chicken, then yes.


God, I love chicken.

life or death situation with dead bodies, id say i would, wouldnt kill anyone though

Kia_Kaha

You can't really answer that unless you've been put in such a situation. I'd like to think I wouldn't but I think if my life depended on it I probably would. Then again, if I've run out of ham I give the cat a suspicious look.

Yeah id say so if i was desperate and there was nothing else to eat, i don't think it'd be that bad really, we eat dead animals every day and its the same thing.

I think i would need some sort of sauce with it , the same way that plain chicken isn't that tasty without sauce.

flutterflye

That was a great film. Made me think the same thing.
I honestly don't think you could say one way or the other until in that situation.
I can't stomach eating loads of stuff, not because of how they taste, but more the thoughts of them, so I can't imagine being able to eat a person - especially one I knew.
But at the same time - that instinct to do anything to survive is probably the strongest instinct inbuilt in us.

I'm not sure I could carry the cannibal tag well but then again it would be a good nickname to have if you were on the national rugby team.

I can barely cook beans, there's no hope of me managing a whole person.

My name is Federico Aranda, and I will return.

I'd eat them for the absolute craic.

dodderangler

It all depends
What sauce do I get to use and can I deep fry them?

Wonder how an eyeball would taste? One good chomp and it would burst like a balloon Id say. Id say the lung would taste good but wouldnt like one of a smoker

Fecky the Ninth

Are we talking about eating Lindsay Lohans pimply kabab ?

This makes no sense. Would you not expect it to be more like other red meat?

Canis Lupus

I said yes but depends whether part of the scenario is taking a heavy stone and bashing their brains in in order to access their tasty tasty flesh.

Eat or be eaten

Princess Peach

Does it have to be under extreme circumstances? If offered, I would taste a person whenever.

I'm adventurous with food

This is a good point. If the person is already dead then it's an easy decision but if you had to murder a friend or family member......

ColeTrain

I have to say that I'm surprised with the results so far. It's interesting to know that most of you would have no bother tucking into your fellow man If he succumbed to the freezing cold. I blame it on the Chinese takeaways we have over here, half of us probably are cannibals.

Hmmm well if I thought there was a good chance I'd be rescued then maybe.. but if you're totally ****ed then I prob wouldn't bother!

areyawell

Katy Perrys fun bags could feed the world for eternity!

flyswatter

Did they really have all that hash with them? Surely they could have found a Bigfoot hanging round the joint, and done a deal with him for his fur coat. Keep the cold off anyway.

Smoked lung sounds pretty good to me

cartell_best

Its 03:10 and at this very moment in time, I would have no reservations about eating some people, simply because of their verbal diahorrea and total disregard...

cafecolour

I think I could eat someone already dead if my life depended on it. I wouldn't up and kill someone to eat 'cause I was hungry. Honestly I don't even think I could even kill say, my dog, and eat him just because I was hungry.

I'd guess that human meat tastes horrible. We generally eat herbivores - the meat of meat eaters generally isn't very tasty.

Pottler

If I missed breakfast and it was slightly chilly outside, I'd be inclined to eat Cheryl Cole through a letterbox, no salt/pepper required.
