Reminds me of those poor guys in "Alive" caught on the top of the world with nothing to eat but the dead.
Who here would resort to cannibalism if no other avenue was available.

I'd go for a little rump roast, but it would have to be cooked.
And I'd have to be FREAKIN' DESPERATE!:-2

This is an excellent production, I've seen it before. It includes bits
from my personal favorite work on the subject: Ordeal By Hunger
The Story of the Donner Party. By George R. Stewart.

It would have to be cooked for sure...:-3 Truth be know if your starving to death you will eat anything to keep yourself alive, if you don't you die..!! It ain't pretty but its the facts.. if the people were dead first and not just killed to be eaten.. I guess food is food..!! Never say never, we are capable of grusome things.. :

Carla is right, you will eat strange things when you are starving. What's the longest you ever went without eating? two days? Three?
I ate rattlesnake, grasshoppers, and prickly pear cactus on Air Force Survival Training.

Yep!! If you want to live .. you will eat anything and I mean anything to stay alive.. !! :p The show Survivors is a good example of that on a small scale, those people are hunting, fishing, killing just to eat. It is the only way to stay alive.. basic food and water..!! without them you die..!!
Guess they wouldn't have liked me to be in the Donner Party.. !! I would be looking and my next meal...!! Gross but truee..:yh_drool :yh_wait
