I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust.
Jonathan Swift, 1729, A Modest Proposal
No one reads any more:
A Swedish scientist speaking at Stockholm summit last week offered an unusual possible tactic in combating global climate change: eating human flesh.
Stockholm School of Economics professor and researcher Magnus Soderlund reportedly said he believes eating human meat, derived from dead bodies, might be able to help save the human race if only a world society were to “awaken the idea.”
Soderlund’s argument for human cannibalism was front and center during a panel talk called “Can You Imagine Eating Human Flesh?” at the Gastro Summit, reports the Epoch Times. “Conservative” taboos against cannibalism, he said, can change over time if people simply tried eating human flesh.
Some of the talking points at the seminar included whether humans were too selfish to “live sustainably” and if cannibalism is the solution to food sustainability in the future.
When asked during an interview after his talk if he personally would try human flesh, Soderlund said he was open to the idea.
Go here to read the rest. To many environmentalists Man is but an animal, and an animal of a low order. To some of them mass death of humans would be a feature not a bug.
This means the next international climate accord is a cookbook, yes?
“People can be “tricked,” Soderlund teases, into “making the right decisions.”
Boy, is HE right about that!
Right decisions:
Abortion.
Sex change mutilations.
Homosexuality as normal lifestyle.
Why not eat your neighbors?
Maybe the Left has it right. Open boarders means an abundance of Mexican cuisine.
Those Swiss freethinkers.
Always on the cutting edge of sadistic ideas.

Should we be surprised about any half-baked idea that comes out of the mouths of godless scientists? Though I guess it is better to have the ideas out in the open rather than being kept in secret.
Maybe Dolly the sheep and now artificial, lab made meat are the precursors of IVF babies in artificial wombs being hydroponically farmed? Of course they would have to be organic.
Just maybe we are wrong in thinking that Worse Than Murders, Inc. was parting out aborted babies for transplants and research. The Chinese prisoners organs are old anyway. What if the godless Chinese elites want something new and rare; they’re are tired of shark fin soup, or bear gall and rhino horns aren’t as potent as aphrodisiacs? Just maybe PPH was selling the late term parts overseas for pate’, steak tartare and the sets of little testicles/penises for virility?
If, in the ’70s you had told me that we would be aborting over a million babies per year in our country, that homosexuality would be portrayed as normal, that homosexual unions would be considered marriages, that men and women and NOW children can change their genders according to whims of fancy, that white people ARE the enemy and the root cause of every conceivable evil in this country simply because of skin color, that doctors would help people commit suicide and put to death patients who doctors or family members decide are no longer worth to keep alive and euthanize them at will, I would have told you that you had crossed the line of sanity into insanity. Cannibalism? Sure, why not since it is no longer far fetched. Don’t eat veal, or any other meat because it’s not humane. Human flesh? Why not since nothing is no longer moral. We are indeed a sick lot.
My dear God, save us from ourselves.

The unseriousness of that proposal is yet more evidence that the Left doesn’t believe their own horse crap and are just looking for attention, money, votes, or clicks – but they know it’s nonsense.

“Jonathan Swift, 1729, A Modest Proposal. My comment. Witches and warlocks eat little children. Cannibals and human sacrifice was ended by God in Abraham’s sacrifice of his beloved son Isaac.
Idi Amin cannibalized his people, the ultimate contempt.
