Serious Does This Make Us Cannibals?

[vaporghoul]

I just recently caught wind of something interesting... Wisconsin is the latest state to legalize liquifying human bodies and dumping them down the drain and into the sewage. You can see the senate bill HERE.
You can view an explanation on hydraulic cremation HERE. And no, it isn’t some random article from an idiot; it’s the Cremation Association of North America.

Sounds fine. In theory it’s an ok idea. Get rid of bodies in a greener way, save space in graveyards. Here’s the interest part. In all 50 US states, sewage sludge, or BioSolids as they’re properly referred to, are used to fertilize crops.

Now, one may argue that cow manure is often used as fertilizer, and that it’s no different. And, it may as well be. However, human waste and human bodies are very different from bovine waste. It soon becomes a moral delemma.

If we are what we eat, and we eat plants that have consumed humans to some capacity, does this make us cannibals?

At the end of the day, it’s all just an opinion; and your own opinion is valid. I stand nowhere.

 

[StupidDumb4ss]

As long as it's not consuming directly human flesh it can't be considered as cannibalism imo

 

[Rabidface]

As I already eat people it doesn't effect me

 

[kaijucore]

Tons of blood, flesh, and other human waste gets flushed down the drain everyday, in our own homes alone. It’s not that big of a deal and I don’t think it qualifies as cannibalism.

Soylent Green could happen if the Earths population continues to grow like it has, we need a few more proper wars and pandemics to redress the balance.

If we are what we eat, and we eat humans, that makes us humans. I don’t see the problem.

So I'm a beer then?

So I'm a beer then?

Yeah I’m 97% Guinness. Hope I don’t turn black.

Thats their main function...

 

[PieFace]

You yanks are kerrazay

 

[juveN1337]

meh, it depends on how you see it.

 

[deviant2]

Yeah, that's not disturbing at all.

Wouldn't one think if burials are out cause no room in the ground, that the logical go to would be cremation? And not sluggify the fam damily in vats of caustic stew, then holding a service in the master bathroom as you flush Ma and Pa down the crapper?

What brilliant mind thought that humdinger of an idea is THE way to go?
Gates? I bet it was Gates...

Yes, this was my thought as well, it's started!

Hmm that is interesting. Since the bill was recently passed in Wisconsin, I wonder how long it'll be until all 50 states pass this bill.

What does that mean for our food? We are what we eat and as humans, we eat a lot of shit. A healthy diet is a very strict lifestyle and even if you consider yourself a healthy eater, you are bound to eat plenty of other things that are not healthy. What about the people who excessively take opioids? Tattoos?

Im basing some of my questions on Armin Meiwes, that German cannibal guy. Didnt he say that people with tattoos or drug use taste bad? Could be another article. I have not researched his story in a while.

Sure the same argument could be for cattle or any other animal for that matter. But predominantly mammals that are most commonly eaten through the world. Pork, Cow, Chicken, Lamb, etc. They are what they eat, but animals that are mass raised, bred, and fed usually have what they eat down to a few simple foods, unlike humans.

And since cow feces has been around since approx 8,000 years ago, which help grow the food that we digest on a daily, does this mean that it really doesn't effect our lives majorly.

Eh idk i went on a rant. hope this makes sense

Years ago ALDI had cheap eggs, they tasted fishy because the hens were fed with fish products. Eeww.. very 'natural' nutrition for chicken.


These pigs...

 

[DeadVampire]

we should just straight up eat people anyway

Then legal "assisted suicide", euthanasia, will become more wide spread also. I believe the population of the world is already being culled...It's called starvation, famine, disease, and war....how much of this is man made?

When I mentioned Soylent Green I didn't realise that it was set in the year 2022, when I first saw the film in the 70's it seemed like the distant future.

I've never seen a cow with a tattoo or with a heroin habit. Or it would be my friend.
