Swedish Researcher Advocates Eating Human Flesh to Combat Climate Change Food Shortages! Reported by The Epoch Times September 9 2019
"A Swedish scientist speaking at Stockholm summit last week offered an unusual possible tactic in combating global climate change: eating human flesh". Reported by the NY Post.
Why? Do reduce mans dependence of farm animals which eat and pass flatulence at very high volumes or to make up food when our planet can no longer harvest sufficient amounts for the population. This crazy scenario reminds me of the famous motion picture "Soylent Green". Is there any merit to this scheme?(sorry for all of the caps..computer problems!)

Considering the amount a human eats in their lifetime this is hardly self sustaining and won't make a dent in climate change

Eating an average human would only sustain another human for less than a month.

Also reported "A tribe in Papua New Guinea practiced eating their dead as an alternative to allowing them to be consumed by worms, according to the Standard. The cultural practice led to an epidemic of a disease called Kuru, also known as laughing death."

This sounds like a tongue-in-cheek proposition, like Swift's Modest Proposal.

The cannibalism thing is more fake news from those who have a vested interest in lying.
