Paul Ehrlich Cannibalizes Some Ideas

According to Paul Ehrlich, there's a real danger of people eating the bodies of the dead.  He's an old cracker scientist who is pitifully desperate for attention but I've got to admire the concept.  Dude, you are one twisted fuck.  Of course it's in the Daily Mail.  (Mail Online: Will overpopulation drive us to eat our own DEAD? Controversial academic claims humanity is moving towards cannibalism at 'ridiculous speed')

People aren't moving toward eating corpses at any speed at all.  In fact, the only one who has much interest in corpses is Ehrlich who, presumably, is in imminent danger of becoming one.  Perhaps, in his dotage, he is concerned about his corpse being eaten.

Don't worry, doc.

Maybe Ehrlich is extrapolating on the news of rampaging cannibalism in Africa.  But that would be difficult as there hasn't been any such news.  There's lots of killing with machetes but no cannibalism.

Many Americans have been fattened-up hugely to no obvious effect other than developing them as food stocks.  If that's the case then Ehrlich could be partially correct ... but these still aren't corpses.  They will be soon but they aren't yet.

Sometimes they will express their outrage over the health risks of smoking cigarettes or reefer.  Yah, ok.  So I'll smoke a joint and you can go off to eat a pizza or two and we'll see who dies first (cough).

Ehrlich's right:  eat 'em.
