Even if it is a joke, that a person would believe it is a serious proposal is a good indicator of either how dark people view the world, or how dark the world is. I would be surprised if babies weren’t being eaten today as a delicacy, personally. My reasoning is as follows: There are millions of slaves all over the world today. Many are used in the sex industry, as prostitutes in brothels, massage parlors, on the street, whatever. People have a variety of…interesting tastes. One of these tastes would be to have sex with a pregnant woman. It would behoove an individual in the business to account for all of his customers’ tastes.
Now after the deed is done, what’s to be done with the baby that results? Well, if it’s a girl, you got yourself a new slave for your sex industry. If it’s a boy, and you have no use for it, nor anyone willing to buy it alive…well…you could dispose of it, but that would be wasting money, and the name of the game is making the most money possible. Babies are reported to taste like veal. Veal is a commodity that fetches a good price. Why go to the effort of getting rid of a dead baby, when you could have veal instead? A few backhanded deals, and you got a place to dispose of your non-usable excess babies, for a decent price at that. Once you get someone unscrupulous to carve your babies for meat, if the customer doesn’t know it’s human baby instead of cow baby, and they pretty much taste the same, how will he ever know he’s just eaten a human baby?
Woo. I wonder if this qualifies me as a psychopath. I never did enjoy veal, but thinking like that I’m probably never going to.
Good thing there won’t be any human babies in cataclysm, right? Besides, the thought of zombie babies creeps me out a bit. Not sure why.
