Cannibalism...food for thought?

You know what I’ve always thought was a little weird. Food that is modeled after like cartoon characters and stuff that are modeled after human beings. I mean, don’t get me wrong I think rug rats shaped macaroni and cheese is delicious…. but the I think there is a subconscious agenda being pushed by this act… that agenda being…. cannibalism. Let’s think about it, out of all things to model a food after…be it macaroni, cereal, or whatever…why people? Why is the food industry suggesting we take up the barbaric role of cannibalism? It’d be ok to do like animal shaped food items…because people eat animals…or in a vegetarian’s case…plant shaped food items. The thing is, at a young age kids minds may start to put together the shape of people in food with people around them in the real world. Before you know it you have little Hannibal Lector’s running around. It’s all fun and games till someone gets their eye poked out…poached…and eaten, served with fava beans and a nice Chianti. See now you’re bringing in underage drinking to the equation. Cannibalism leads to alcoholisms. That’s just not a good idea I don’t think. Secretly I think perhaps the food industry may be trying to cut corners by bringing into the food production line one of the most available resources…. Homeless people. That’s right, there are a lot of homeless people in the world today, with very little value of life. I think the food industry is starting a plan to utilize this resource and start introducing people…to people, one meal at a time. “Chicken fingers with less chickens and more Fingers…the meat might not be 100% white, but we as a food industry do not discriminate, get some color in your diet!” This horrible transition into worldwide cannibalism is good for no one. What if humans develop mad cow disease…or rather mad human disease…crazy herds of humans having to be put down, startling the food production industry working hard to isolate the infected ones…what a horrible world that would be. I’m asking…nay…begging the food industry to stop subtly implying that people should eat people. Great, but what about all the food products that exist right now that if banned would be completely wasted. No worries I have a solution for that. Simply ship all these products to people who are already cannibals. Think about it, what a rare treat for a nice cannibal family to teach little junior to eat the flesh of others then by giving him a bowl of Rugrats macaroni and cheese. Junior will be eating people in no time. Gerber baby food jars kind of make me cringe too. What if people weren’t familiar with the idea of labeling food jars with a logo such as the infamous Gerber baby. What if in their culture the label contained a picture of the food the item contained. I bet those people would be really freaked out by seeing what appeared to them to be mashed up babies. Don’t other countries hate the U.S. enough already without thinking we eat babies? We’re talking a potential world crisis people. Let’s stop the spread of cannibalism before it becomes a crisis. It’s the right thing to do.
