      Tax them first, proportional to gross income.

      (You know, like America in the '40s . Do they know that’s one of the few Greats America was, and thus one of the few things they can Make it Again?)

      Yes but there’s so much fat to trim away. I think we should give all people a chance to be “at the table.” I mean what’s wrong with human meat? Ounce per ounce it’s more nutritious than the same amount of chicken or beef. Ask the survivors of the Andes’ plane wreck.

        We’d have to cook it to the texture of shoe-leather, to make sure to kill whatever yuck that might be in them.

        That said, something isn’t right with my body; I’m not tolerating meat well, lately. Considering vegan but not sure how to get plenty of protein, and I do love dairy, which is still less expensive than almond/oat milk (which I like well enough).

            That’s also a possibility, or use the gristle for cattle feed or something. But why not make Soylent Green energy drinks and festive human jerky snacks? Why let all that good meat go to the worms?

            Then we pollute the air more. I’m pretty sure there is zero use for billionaires and multimillionaires. Deprogramming and re-education, probably by putting them in crap pay service industry positions, slum dwellings and taking away their toys, including internet and television, and probably telephones that dial more than emergency services.

          Actually human meat has no more yuck to it than chicken or beef, but I get what you’re saying. Though the survivors of the Andes (the soccer team that crashed and ended up eating their dead teammates) have said that, if they went through such a thing again, they wouldn’t hesitate to eat raw human flesh - it was the only thing that kept them from total starvation.

          But if we were to market human meat in a palatable way - pasteurized and cooked to whatever temp to make sure it’s safe - I don’t see why it should be abhorrent to think about eating it. Think of the possibilities - instead of spam you could have Sam and eggs. (sorry bad joke…)
