I'd called {Stanley Garn} because he wrote an 's paper on the topic of human flesh and its nutritional value. "Your cows," he said, "are much more efficient." But I am not so much interested in cultures eating the flesh of their captive enemies as I am in cultures eating their own dead, the practical "Why not?" model of cannibalism, eating the meat of fresh corpses because it's there and it's a nice change from taro root.
