Food, clothing, and shelter; then after that we can start figuring out how to kill each other. How many wars have been fought over these?
 
all kidding aside, it would be something we would see in a SHTF survival situation...

Just be sure to cook your meat properly & don't mess with the brain. Ever hear about Kuru disease? It's also known as the "Laughing Death". It comes from eating a protein found in the brain tissue of humans. The people of New Guinea used to eat their dead to help their families spirits travel to the next world, and they would eat "every" part of the body.

The other population that has a high occurrence of this malady are people in Kentucky who regularly ate squirrel brains. The prion is similar to the one that causes mad cow disease, it will withstand heat up to 700 degrees, you cannot destroy it through cooking.

And the term they used for eating human flesh is/was "long pig". So moral posturing aside, i guess it must taste alright?

How to kill people will be at the top of some peoples list so they can steal the deceased's food, clothing and shelter.
