Scientist suggests eating human flesh to fight climate change

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.


“I feel somewhat hesitant but to not appear overly conservative … I’d have to say … I’d be open to at least tasting it,” he told Sweden’s TV4.

He suggested more plausible options such as eating pets and insects.

Before human meat becomes the next cuisine trend, however, history shows there are potential health risks to cannibalism.

A tribe in Papua New Guinea practiced eating their dead as an alternative to allowing them to be consumed by worms, according to the Standard. The cultural practice led to an epidemic of a disease called Kuru, also known as laughing death.

According to the US National Library of Medicine, the disease is caused by an infectious protein found in contaminated human brain tissue. The practice of cannibalism among the people of New Guinea came to an end in 1960.

That wackjob forgot to put "Mad" before his scientist title. 😑

I bet Jeffrey Dahmer and Albert Fish also first considered just tasting human flesh.. once tried then looked what happened at both of them... one killed multiple men and ate their organs.. another killed multiple kids and ate them

Hes absolutely right. Go eat some humans = reduce the source of the problem, + save resources by eating a a resource that exacerbates climate change.

Now the question is... who to be eaten.. Lets base it on fat to body ratio => more energy converted

... oh wai... I should sell this script..

He is not wrong. Human take granted for earth resources. Always take from earth but never bother to take care earth.

Mmmm BBQ fat baby ribs.

nobody:

extremist in scientific community. Thats equivalent to religious leader saying underaged marriage should be legalized due to "abundance" of children.

I don't mind if people want to eat my dead body, just don't kill me for my meat.

I won't eat other people flesh.
