The Environmental Benefits of Cannibalism

[Forty Two]

What's the downside?

[pErvinalia]

Zombie-ism from brain parasites.

[laklak]

Well, maybe if we can process the "nearly" dead, and "should" be deads.

Florida and Arizona would be like giant farmer's markets.

[JimC]

What would be the harm of using the dead humans, though? The proposal was to take the bodies that die and take up space, etc., and otherwise go to waste, and process them for consumption and use.

What harm?

Sorry, I thought he was talking about meat in general. I still agree with eating the rich, or at the very least grinding them up and using them as fertiliser.

Actually, I think the grinding up part is the best idea. Perhaps add the result to the effluent entering a well-designed sewage farm, capture the methane for energy, and when the mixture is fully decomposed (and with the right treatment, pathogen free), spray it on agricultural land...

I'm thinking that to save the energy from grinding them up we could perhaps put them (alive) in hot air balloons and when they get to the inner stratosphere we detonate a small charge in the balloon to pop it and they all fall to earth and splatter into minced meat on impact with the ground. It would also be a great spectator sport!

[Scot Dutchy]

That is sick.

[pErvinalia]

Fully sick, bro.

The problem with that is all the drugs the elderly are on. We couldn't sell them as organic fertilizer, much less food.

Just like they put live shellfish into clean water for a few days to purge them, before processing the elderly could live on water for a few days and be deprived of their drugs before being processed.

You know it makes sense...

[Svartalf]

I preferred Swift's Modest proposal, children are more tender.

That should clean them out a bit, but you don't want to eat their livers or kidneys. Only eat liver and kidneys from vegan, gluten-free Californians.

[pErvinalia]

i'd also irradiate them. I know that will revoke their organic status, but it's best to be sure.

[laklak]

You can find pre-irradiated ones in Japanese retirement homes, particularly around Fukashima, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki.
