Yummy, yummy, yummy, I’ve got Tommy in my tummy! … NOT!

Attention, Paleo Pork Chop People, just ’cause I’m the spawn of meat-eaters and cannibals doesn’t mean I have to continue the tradition till Midnight Eternity.

Biology is not destiny.
.
Why not hack destiny?
.
I prefer eating as low on the food chain as possible.
.
I use meat as a condiment to balance my pH – when there’s no access to asparagus, beer, brewer’s yeast, cauliflower, dried peas, green peas, lentils, mushrooms, oatmeal, spinach, wheat germ, wheat bran, and other uric acid-containing meatless foods.

ALL OF US have cannibal ancestors – ancient and otherwise – in our past.
.
The “C word” was practiced extensively worldwide, for a minimum of 3,500,000 years, including in Europe, for a minimum of 1,500,000 years.
.
The American Anasazi civilization (700-1300 A.D.) practiced it too.
.
Millions of “dead baby pills” are still being sold globally – especially in Asia – as “stamina boosters.”
.
Corpse Medicine was popular in the U.S. during the Civil War.

What is Corpse Medicine?

Well, there’s six or so categories of cannibalism, technically known as anthropophagy.
.
(1) Survival Cannibalism is when you’ve run out of all other food sources.
.
(2) Gastronomic Cannibalism is when you savor the taste of human flesh.
.
(3) Sacrificial Cannibalism is when you need to propitiate the gods or gain the strength of an enemy.
.
(4) Political Cannibalism is when you want to scare the crap out of your enemy.
.
(5) Mortuary Cannibalism is when you want to retain continuity with your ancestors.
.
(6) Medicinal Cannibalism – Corpse Medicine – is when you want to cure or prevent disease.

Now you know where at least some of that nitrogen they’re finding in ancient bones is coming from.

(Incidentally, recent – but more comprehensive – bone nitrogen research shows the meat-eating habits of our ancestors have been greatly exaggerated.)

For the grisly details on how extensive cannibalism really was – and to prove I’m not pulling your leg – please read …

Maybe Earth’s 7,100,000,000 human beings are being exposed to genetically-engineered foods with human DNA in them as a karmic payback for “the sins of the fathers.”

Soylent Green is a midday food, in case you’re interested.
