Technically this is an entirely feasible idea... Cannibalism isn't illegal...

We already make ice cream out of human breast milk. Granted, it's not cannibalism, but it's close.

This idea is taken from "Stars In My Pocket Like Grains of Sand" by Samuel Delaney.

Parody or real startup, I don't know, but I'm grabbing popcorn and upvoting either way.

And I thought soylent had the eating people market cornered. Fool me once...

This is about the original soylent, the green one.

If I eat any of this, will I still be a vegetarian?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

.org Old school. Were bitelabs.io or bitelabs.ly already taken?

Or bitela.bs? (.bs being the TLD for The Bahamas)

Technically, bs is not a form of human meat but instead the excrement of male cattle.

Is this real ? It can't be can it ? Isn't it illegal to sell/process human flesh ?

Edit - Never mind.

No references to the "Long Pig" food store chain in Transmetropolitan?! (Warren Ellis) Some of the best stuff he ever did, imho.

Is there anything else (comic/graphic novel) quite like Transmetropolitan in the 'cyberpunk/post-cyberpunk' genre?

This reminds me of a passage in "The State of the Art" by Iain M. Banks, when a group of aliens visit earth and dine on various clone - grown dishes from earth's current dictators and the like.

"Most of you over there will be eating either Stewed Idi Amin or General Pinochet Chilli Con Carne; here in the centre we have a combination of General Stroessner Meat Balls and Richard Nixon Burgers. The rest of you have Ferdinand Marcos Sauté and Shah of Iran Kebabs. There are, in addition, scattered bowls of Fricaséed Kim II Sung, Boiled General Videla, and Ian Smith in Black Bean Sauce..."
