I personally think all politicians should be at the top of the list, and there should be some sort of scaraficial ceremony before hand too:D

I'm not sure they'd taste very nice though.... I expect they'd be rather bitter and dirty despite all the fine wine and food they can afford on their expenses :cool:

GQ's option does at least save the vegetarians from worrying about whether to eat worms or snails

And it would be a good idea to have a few practise runs while times are good so we get it right when the shtf ;-)

The first time ever Cameron will get my vote as he'd be top of my list x

On reflection though think the worms would be more appealing or indeed rats haha x

Goo point.. Then we could do the sacrificial killing anyway to keep our morale up, as we need to stay focused. And this would def keep me focused lol

It has happened, albeit those eaten were already dead.

The film Alive is based on a real life incident, where survivors ate those who died in an airliner crash.

I have been using my mouli legumes a lot over the last couple of weeks, making roasted tomato sauce from the tomato crop It is better than a food processor or similar for this, as it doesn't let the pips or skins through, or chop them up leaving gritty or leathery bits in the sauce.

But what are the ethics of cannibalism in a crisis? Is it more or less ethical to eat a vegetarian than an omnivore? As one of the latter, I would suggest that the vegetabliarians are much more nutritious and should be the first on the menu.

What is more they apparently taste like pork as well.

Though becoming vegetarians is much more sustainable in the long term environmentally. It uses far less resources than being a carnivore.
