A fascinating read of an article. How long are you willing to suffer before eating human flesh? How far till you eat your own parents? This episode of westward expansion is an example of natural selection and human group psychology. Hope you enjoy it!

back in the day, especially in some parts of africa, human meat was preferable to other animals and was considered the tastiest meat

Donner party is like people of a religion that cant eat pork having to subsist on pork.

disclaimer: im vegan and eat no meats made out of people of any species and find it immoral
