Could we survive eating only humans?

  Prions and population collapse aside, your cannibal population would eventually succumb to simple nutrient deficiency as the human body can’t synthesize a number of essential vitamins and amino and fatty acids. Without any outside food sources, those nutrients would eventually be completely exhausted.

  So if you’re going to start eating people, only eat people who have been a fed a diverse, nutrient-rich diet.
