Would you resort to cannibalism in the post-apocalypse?

We'll all resort to that when we have to :-)

I'm in the same boat. I love to cook, so if you still have meat on your bones, don't come anywhere near my house. Garlic/Chipotle biceps sound good. I would hate to eliminate all of the squirrels, frogs, and deer early on.

you're very optimistic op

you have to survive first. that's the hard part. nibbling Joe6Ps butt is very much on the back burner till then.

I'm gonna bet that the lumbar and quads/hamstrings are what you're gonna want.

You mean I am supposed to wait for the appocolypse? Oops, i had better put this steak back in the freezer then :)

Why does it have to be post-apocalypse? People is just good eats, no matter the occasion.

Though, I suppose it isn't exactly cannibalism if you're not human...

Im assuming this is some sort of apocalypse where all the other animals have vanished and )humans are all thats left?

Cannabletards.

A few things to know.

All out anarchy starts on the 3rd day as people decide to take food and water from others.

Die off from people too stupid to find clean water..7th day

Raiding parties start on the 5th and 6th days.

Second wave of die offs on the 28th day from contaminated water.

Cannatards pop up at 15 days, when even people with full pantries have been raided and the goods split.

Without constant labor and the ability to produce and deliver more, the worlds entire food supply is gone on day 22.

Animals move to deeper woods by day 3. Most species go nearly extinct in 45 days.

Cannatards die off for the most part by day 55 as they end up with the diseases and contamination passed on by their meals, as well as armed parties, govt and private who terminate their nests.

If you think you want to have any chance to make it your gonna have to risk it at the oceans. Beware of the waves.

well depends on whether I become
a zombie or not

You seem to be good at pulling totally arbitrary dates and numbers out of your ass.

A bit unrelated, but I hear that besides the ass, the palms of the hand and cheeks (and parts of the feet, IIRC) make for good eating, even though there's not much to them.

will there still be katsup?

In case of zombies, I always thought it would be a good idea to bring stragglers and survivors into the group with promises of food, and then feed them a mixture of normal meat mixed with ground zombie flesh.

Then they become infected and are much easier to pick off and strip of their gear and supplies. Assuming they have stuff we want. If they didn't have anything we'd probably just eat them.

The first part of the plan hinges on whether or not the virus can survive extreme temperatures and the stomach environment and still infect people.

Not likely, I know, but neither is a zombie apocalypse in general.

all zombies shot on sight

OP will be fed a steady diet of tube steak.

The deep muscles in the mid and upper back along the spine are tender because most modern people no longer work. Sitting in a chair all day tenderizes you. Much like the backstrap in wild animals is usually the tastiest nugget.

Sure, I'd give it a shot if I really needed to. But, taking things away from other people would probably come first.

no
i've made peace with dying

We'll invite you over and let you sample some of our finest Rocky Mountain Oysters.

No, I would not resort to cannibalism, nor will I abide it anywhere near me.
Cannies will be chilled on sight.
Come near me and I will put you down!
It shouldn't be too hard as you will have the droolies from eating human meat, most likely contaminated.
Do you know how dirty the average human will be then? Inside and outside buddy. Full of parasites and disease, and I won't touch on the metaphysical implications of your proposed course of actions.
I hope you are gut shot the first time you attempt to eat a fellow human.
Unless you are just fooling around here on GLP, then I'd probably just wish you a good day Trogdolite.

Yes, but I'm picky, just young girls, probably easier to chew on and not to gamey or stringy

LOL, you'll be one of the first to go. Not willing to do whatever it takes to survive, I see.

I agree. It'd be easier to convince the rest of the survivors in the group that it's fine to raid other camps for supplies, rather than trying to convince them that we're going to start eating living humans.

Though I suppose, were I in a position of enough influence or leadership, I could just trick everybody and feed them human meat while passing it off as food we scavenged/hunted.

No doubt some would. Let's hope not but none of us really know what we would do or not do under the circumstances.

Cannibalism would also mean that the eater gets whatever diseases the dead person had.

Besides, there are always bugs. We all know that cockroaches can survive anything....and they are mighty crunchy too!

Anything that one eats to survive is also likely to be radioactive if the scenario is a nuclear war.

As for Zombies, just a piece of fiction and the least likely thing to happen to humanity.

More likely is that we would die off from some sort of disease from germ warfare or biochemicals.

And if I find you, I will put a bullet in your head.

OP will do ANYTHING to live another day. by that he means he will become the bitch of a big strong man who is good at surviving. he will be shared throughout the group, and his hiney and mouth will get all used up, after that they will cook and eat him.

LOL, you're taking a hypothetical thread pretty strongly. To be fair, I wouldn't resort to cannibalism if I was ever trapped in a disaster short of a zombie apocalypse, and as we all know, a zombie apocalypse is never going to happen, so...

Just be glad I haven't shared my ideas on how best to entertain my survivors, though.

Fear is the mind killer.

yes.
