It is good to know that human meat doesn’t taste good, according to one of the cannibals in this provocative video. Bad tasting meat might prove to be a deterrent to someone getting the idea of killing a human being and then sautéing them up for dinner. However, as you can see from this Discovery channel documentary, there are tribes partaking of human flesh for a unique reason. The only good thing about these cannibals is that the person they killed and ate was a sorcerer who was harming one of their own.

According to these guys, the sorcerer was already eating one of their own people; therefore they felt compelled to seek revenge by returning the favor. However, it appears that the sorcerer was not actually eating anyone, but that it was more of a figurative consumption via illness and death. Apparently in this tribe, when a person becomes sick or dies unexpectedly there must be a sorcerer behind it. Modern medicine has not yet reached them, which is unfortunate for all the future accused sorcerers.

Interestingly, the one guy makes the statement, “Normal people shouldn’t eat each other because we’re all human.” Coming from an actual cannibal, somehow I don’t quite believe him. It seems when it comes to sorcerers all bets are off for not eating another human being.
