Finally caught up and finished season 3. Now the wait for S4 to be released on netflix.

How do they chose who they want to eat and who they want to eat with?

My guess is, they choose to eat everyone NEW.....since they're comfortable with everyone they already have.

If the situation were real...I suppose it would beat going out and LOOKING for food every day..but eating human meat? :tremble: sheesh!

I think that Troy's right; they already have everyone that they want at the table. The logical thing would be to only eat the ones who look healthy, since you don't want to get sick yourself. The problem with cannibalism is that while you can catch a few diseases from cows and pigs, you can catch EVERYTHING that another human has.

OK because I've NEVER looked into doing so (for obvious reasons :lol:) even if you cook the meat thoroughly?


I can't even believe I'm discussing this :tremble:

When you say thoroughly, you better mean thoroughly. Viruses, bacteria, and parasites; we can transfer them all. Better get that meat up to a good temperature and heat it all the way through, for long enough to kill anything that's in it. If it's true of pork, then it's even more so for human.

I have a series of books by Peter Hathaway Capstick. He was one of the original big game hunters in Africa waaaay back when! One of his books was called Maneaters. He pretty much covered everything that will eat man including man himself! He told one story about a friend that had lived with cannibals for a while and had eaten human meat. He asked him about it especially regarding the taste. His buddy replied "Sheeeet! Meat's meat!".
He also told of one safari where one of the natives got caught trying to rape another's wife. One of the men stayed behind with the wife and the rapist. He assumed to take them back to the village for a trial. A day or so later, the guy came back and they had a big feast that night. At some point during dinner he asked what they did at the village. The guy was confused. "We didn't go to the village." Capstick asked him what they did then. He told him they executed the guy then prepared him for dinner! Capstick hadn't gotten to the main course yet and declined!
If you get the chance to read any of his books, do so! They are fascinating! He has one book telling the true story about the Ghost and the Darkness which was made into a movie back in the 80's or 90's.
