some of you guys are some sick bubblegumers. you can't eat people, you go to **** for that.
i'd rather eat a bullet. my desire to remain on this planet does not override my principles. besides- the few who have eaten people and survived have made it pretty clear that it didn't help much. by the time you're eating your buddy, he's so depleted of nutrients that you're just filling your belly with empty mass.
Lol, almost as good as a zombie thread.

In a real Survival Situation alot of people who think they would have it all handled would see it ain't that easy. Stuff happens. Someone who is bigger badder, faster, and tougher is always around the next corner. No matter how hard we try we can always have our rears kicked.
ZA_Survivalist, you might be that man. Maybe not. If so, I taste horrible!
It was not, "we live in the northwest with lots of tasty critters and I can shoot a gnat of a bulls *** @ 500 yards".If it comes down to it and you have no food and absolutely no way of getting any, would you rather become a cannibal or just die?
The original question was:
It was not, "we live in the northwest with lots of tasty critters and I can shoot a gnat of a bulls *** @ 500 yards".
I can think of a dozen scenarios, right here in the PNW where you would have zero chance of harvesting anything to eat for several weeks.
Ok, how about this. You're in a plane crash in a high altitude situation, legs broke. I bet that body next to you would be tempting after a few days.
This argument, or the lack of understanding it, is the same as when people think they know what exactly they will do in a SHTF situation, long before the situation presents itself and without any prior experience in one. place smilie with face in palm here.
How about out hunting and you get buried in because of a snow storm. How about hurt and can only crawl? Sure they seem far fetched, but wouldnt those real life scenarios like the Soccer team in Andes Mountains be far fetched if they hadn't happened?
list some. if we're talking about the pacific northwest, i can almost guaranty i can easily refute any situation you present. this corner of the world is teeming with life- there's food everywhere. you have to possess some knowledge and a little skill, but you can survive. just yesterday, as i lay on a hump of dirt waiting for a nice old buck to inch his way out of the treeline, i was reminded how many grasshoppers there are. i had no less than a dozen hop right onto me, and dozens more hopping all around. i could have caught enough for a meal in less than an hour, just by sitting still- almost zero caloric expenditure for a really good, relatively speaking, caloric return.
in eastern oregon, in the middle of the high desert, we used to catch enough lizards to make un-filling, but nourishing meals, and would even bag the occasional hare with a slung or thrown rock. and there's tons of grasshoppers and edible ants (some are NOT- know your ants) over there as well.
and that's just animals.. i'm not as up on edible plants, but there are tons of edible plants in this area as well. eat a couple handfuls of grasshoppers and add a few handfuls of dandelion greens. you could live like that for months, or longer. a lot longer, if you have the ability to cook the bugs first... grasshoppers, for instance, are known to carry tapeworms and other parasites in their GI tracts.
... i can almost guaranty i can easily refute any situation you present.
This thread is about morality, not about the likelihood of being in a particular situation. The topic of this thread is that you are in a situation where the only options are to eat another human or die. Period.
