(249 posts)What might be unacceptable to you and I doesn't mean it should be illegal. I find the idea of eating feces unacceptable because it carries a risk of disease but I don't think it should be illegal.

The discussion up-thread about mental health is very interesting as it should factor into the entirety of how society functions far more so than it does today.

But none is talking about it this way, and until they do they cannot see the true nature of his destructive policies and actions.
As rats overpopulate an enclosure they start to eat each other. I suspect this will occur in the human population as well in the coming decades. Climate change will make food far more scarce than it is today.
If you were going to starve and you had the chance to eat someones arm, that they were willing to sell to you, would you do it?
