Solve all the worlds problems...with a fork!

1. Eat Or Be Eaten
A world open to the idea of cannibalism does not have to be the same thing as a horrible zombie apocalypse. We don't all have to hide under our beds for fear of our fellow man, or contract kuru and go crazy.
You can take most of the following ideas, and apply them to feeding humans to other animals, putting us back in the food chain.

2. Health For All
If humans become a food source, then we all have a vested interest in the quality of human health and fitness. Medicine will inevitably advance in leaps and bounds, and be available to everybody, no matter where they live.
140 million children around the world are malnourished right now. It could change.

3. Baby Boomer Back Ribs
The elderly are fast becoming the largest percentile of people on the planet. But Murk! Isn't that a bad thing? Not a problem... If we start eating them!
Euthanasia will be much more acceptable in a man-eat-man world; and many people in a vegetative state are being kept alive against their will. People without a conscious thought left in their tired old minds are using up our resources while others starve and die. We live in sick times.

4. Ration the Population of this Nation
The human race is on a steady rise, with an estimated 9 billion people living on Earth before it can't sustain any more. And that figure is only a few decades away.
By eating your fellow man, you're saying yes to an Earth that can continue to thrive.

5. More White Flags
Almost all wars are fought because of an expanding population needing to branch out for more resources. We stop being so wasteful, we stop needing more stuff. Couldn't be simpler.
I'm not saying we'll abolish war, but we can probably avoid a few.

6. Animal Versus Human Brutality
You're born, you grow up, you go to school, you get a job, you love, you live a full life... and then you get old, pass on and willingly donate your body (provided its in good shape) to those who need it more than you do.
Isn't that a much better life cycle than letting an animal be born in a cage, stay there for 6 months and then end up on the table? You got to have a life and it got nothing.

7. The Body, The Earth and The Stars
We've all outgrown the kind of superstitions that surround leaving the body intact after death. Many people donate organs already. Burying your body is as good as throwing it in a landfill; and being cremated is a complete waste of good parts. You've taken and taken and taken from this Earth - you should learn to give back.
Some cultures have know this for thousands of years, and have things such as Sky Burials.

8. You Do The Crime, You Do The Time In The Oven
Before you rush to conclusions, I'm definitely not saying we should throw criminals into a Hitler-esk furnace. But in a world with cannibalism, serious offenders could be looking at donating their bodies to a better cause instead of being put down like animals.

9. Open Trade Routes
None of us want to eat our grandmother. Or our neighbor. Or the little boy who lives down the lane. In a cannibals world, bodies would be shipped to the four corners (after rigorous health checks, of course); meaning bigger, better, more efficient trade routes between all countries.

10. Keeping It Real
It doesn't matter if you don't eat another person. In fact, thats very mentally healthy of you. But the most important thing is to keep your mind open and weigh up the pros and cons yourself. Just because the rest of the world says something is wrong, doesn't always mean it is.

So there you have it. 10 reasons you should turn to the dark side and become a cannibal.
Happy eating!
