I watched intv documentetion movie about man wchich killed his friend ,sliced him in pieces and day by day consume him.they try to understand what brought this man to doing so.But I ask myself later,what is cannibalism,if you slice some in hundred pieces and eat him up ,you are cannibal,if someone slice another man in hundred piecies and you eat him ,you still cannibal.But if the same death man is sliced in trillions of piecies and we someone eat smaller or bigger piece of him in form of potato,steak,bread etc. is it cannibalism or not.Because if I know something about chain food we are consuming or inhalating other humans this or another way,Earth is very close ecologic system not to much goes away thru atmostfer.I ask myself for how many piecies you must slices someon that is not cannibalism any more?Funny thing coming to head when you look sometimes behind the seem,or put everything in smaller or biger piecies.

I'm sorry, but your post wasn't very clear. Are you saying that bits of humans are in our natural food or that we all end of eating people anyway in... whatever kind of circumstance?

Either way, I say no. It's a conscious decision to slice and dice someone for your own meal. No "normal" stable person does it, and humans certainly don't show up in any of our other food. (or if it does, it's a very sick situation) We aren't all Hannibal Lecters here. lol



But of course, if I misunderstood what you were trying to say, please let me know.

In our perception of world cannibalism is horrible ,one of the worst think wchich we are capable to do.But when I looked in chain food process,made me thinking,because I am sure in smaller or bigger degree we are consuming something what before was a human being body.That's why I ask question ,where is a boder , what we are calling cannibalism.In order to survive we must eat ,at least today(I read about few people wchich are capable to live without food,they use meditations and thisway they are capable to fill they energy needs ,is not a joke,somehow they are capable to transfer energy from Universe using they brain and they are alive,started it one women in Australia about 30 years ago,She has more than 2000 followers worldwide,is a process lasting few years instead food you capable by special meditation fill in your energy needs,she and few others doesn't eat at all and they are alive,I don't know they drink or not)

The question is, do the individual molecules that are eventually used by bacteria still contain something "human"? My answer is no, and thusly it isn't cannibalism. Further, if I had to define cannibalism I would define it as having a premeditative quality.

Are we inadvertantly cannibals in eating substances that contain molecules that once made up humans? No. One might view this as the Sorites Paradox: if you remove grains of sand from a heap, at what point does it stop becoming a heap? In my view, for the act to be (inadvertantly) cannibalistic, the piece that you eat must still preserve some of the original structure of human tissue. Molecules in themselves, as has been said, do not.

Man.. that's some weird thinking. Like "Holythyhand said. It's a choice. It might be a cultural thing as well since some tribes do it.. it's not Cannibalism in the true sense. BTW.. Happy Thanksgivings day. Just thought I'de throw some feel good into this post. But it's interesting anyways.

We made turkey tonight with all the stuffings.. but not stuffing.

Well, if you ask me, there is a relatively big difference between cutting up and eating the flesh of another human and getting human skin flakes and such on your food. Jeez, 70% of house dust is dead human skin and hair. I think you better look up the word "cannibalism" and find out what it means.

Thus the phrase;
"From dust to dust. From ashes to ashes."
