[Sigia-l] [OT] They Eat Their Own

[David Hoffer]

of course other species eat each other. we're the only ones who are
appalled by it. and there are some that aren't even appalled. Jeffery
Daumer for instance. 

the evolutionary advantages (for us anyway) are: 
A) We are probably high in protien
B) We're everywhere (abundant food source)
C) We probably taste like chicken and who doesn't like chicken?

additionally, you can't compete with me for women or jobs or anything
else if i eat you. 

Soylent green is people.
