If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat

  I worked in record stores in the olden days, and got casually familiar with several regulars. One day, a regular customer was buying an album, and I mentioned that some artist had just dropped a new album, if he was interested.

  He got very serious, and said “That album is by a man. Do you think I’m gay?”

  I was instantly confused, and just asked " What?"

  He was getting angry now, and repeated “Do you think I’m gay? Only a gay guy would but an album by a man!”

  I had never encountered this attitude before, and I have never encountered it since, but here it was - if a man bought an album by another man, he is gay. I had never noticed that every artist this guy bought was female.

  I tried explaining that your musical choices do not reflect your sexuality, but he just yelled at me, called me the F-word a bunch of times, and left, and never returned

  I had never cared to think about it before, but after that experience, I came to the conclusion that he was DEFINITELY gay.

  99% of animal meat we eat are already female or basically young children otherwise it’s too meaty and tough. Same for predator animals, they hunt young animals, that’s why wild dogs, pumas, coyotes go for children and you cannot let your child roam without adult supervision in some areas

  There’d also be people who refuse to eat human meat and everyone else would make fun of them.

  Hello there, human meat butcher, fetch me a flank of a former league of legends player that died after a diet of nothing but energy drinks and chicken tendies. Nono, this one isn’t pale enough. I want only your finest. Bring me muscles that have never been used.

  There’s a show about this. The Promised Neverland. [Redacted] raise children on farms and educate them because apparently, smarter ones taste better, but the taste drops at puberty, so they’re given 12 years max before they’re “harvested.” Saying puberty, it sounds perverse, but there’s no perverted element whatsoever to the show. It’s just straight up horror.

  The show is available (at least) in both English and Japanese. There’s a film (on Amazon Prime) that is in Japanese. I’m not sure if it got an English translation. It’s better than one might expect. At one point, Amazon was going to make an English version of the film (based on the manga, not based on the existing movie) but it never happened.

  Minor spoiler: they don’t care about race or gender, only IQ. The smartest ones go to the richest [Redacted], but commoners can typically get the “average” kids. Damn. That sounds Epstein as hell. It really isn’t. They’re strictly being raised as food, as cattle. (That, in and of itself, is a minor spoiler, but it’s revealed in the first episode.)

  I don’t love the second half of this post, it seems like bait to bring out the worst in people, but so far all of the comments seem to be keeping things civil and avoiding the bait.

  Thanks all.

    Usually that type of bait post has a generalized accusation of hypocrisy, that’s the secret ingredient that turns comment sections into 360-era COD lobbies - this post’s title is missing that, so to me it doesn’t look like deliberate ragebait

  For it to be consistently available in national grocery chains, it would probably have to be industrialized like the current meat industry. That puts a lot of limits on how it could work. For starters, there are a lot of species of animal that people will hunt for food that aren’t economical with industrial farming/ranching methods. Their meat is expensive, available minimally in the supply chain and relegated to specialty shops.

  So now, we’re in a position in which there’s a globally massive demand and supply for the meat, just to have commonly at grocery stores. That implies the meat is mostly farm-raised. We’re probably looking at a population of around 100 million. Using other aspects of the meat industry as a model, the meat is probably mostly juvenile, female and without a lot of genetic diversity. This analogy is getting uglier by the second, and I don’t want to flesh it out any further.

  All the other alternatives would make for more expensive, lower quality meat, which consumers don’t like. Thankfully, human burgers are probably not on the menu for the foreseeable future, and if they were, it would likely be a short, self-limiting horror show.

  Not a book for most people, hell sometimes I wish I hadn’t read it. But if you want to get into a fiction book on the subject it’s pretty fucked up. I’ll probably live rent free in my head for the rest of my life…

    That book was a great read. I really enjoyed it, the themes of capitalist consumerism and greed were neatly wrapped up in the madness of cannibalism.

    The ending where >!the guy ends up killing the woman that became too human in his eyes!< was a great twist. Would definitely recommend that book to anyone who enjoys reading.

  I already find it kind of weird when people talk about eating meat, especially ‘breasts’, but no one else seems to so maybe I’m weird.

    Not “no one;” it is pretty bizarre to think about. It’s just that we’re omnivores so we eat things that either used to have eyeballs or that scream when they’re torn from the ground. Like plants react if you even have an intention of harming them, so it’s just sucky to be an omnivore with empathy in general

  I’m guessing it’s hard to tell what color the skin is once it’s cooked, so they’ll insist on picking the cut with the skin on, like choosing a lobster out of a tank, and then watching it be prepared to ensure “purity”. And, of course, to choose gender, they’d need to see the important bits intact. Also, no tattoos, and as few moles or other imperfections as possible.

  This is why our meat sources need to be raised in clean, controlled conditions from birth, you want to know what you’re eating.

  (Holy crap, people are fucked up.)
