can we really justify eating animals just because they taste good? Then how can we say say eating another human is bad if we taste good also especially if you're athiest and believe in evolution? if I eat you aM I more evolved?

Are you supposing that the temptation of flesh was some kind of test that early man failed?
A deity intelligent enough and with enough to set up such a test and with an interest in giving us a choice wouldn't have doomed the descendants of that original meat eating people to the same evil, that deity would offer each of us a choice.
Evolutionarilly, we have teeth and stomach to digest vegetation, the opposable digits to do agriculture, and the reasoned thought to examine the relationship between what we eat and our health in order to balance the diet. We even have the reasoned thought to think about animal rights even when we are only early thinkers like Pythagoras or The Buddha.
Devo, in their more manic and cynical moments, used to spout out that we were De-Evolving because we all actually descended from one particular tribe of apes who thought you could get more intelligent if you cannibalised others brains.
Devo was nuts.

Evil is a relative term.
People began eating mammals before "Mammal" was a word. It wasn't because they were evil, or even necessarily because it tasted good, per se. They just had to eat, plain and simple. Nearly every animal eats other animals or insects. Not all, but most.
Do we need to eat other mammals now to survive? Not in most countries, no. We have plenty of other options. But after thousands of years, people have developed a tradition of eating certain kinds of animals, and it's hard to ween people off of traditions. Is it a matter of some being more evolved? No, of course not. It just means that some people have made a conscious decision to not eat certain foods.
As far as human flesh tasting good, I don't know if it does or not, but would it make you more evolved if you were to eat it? No, of course not, because food choice isn't a matter of evolution. Arms and legs are a matter of evolution. Food choices are generally just tradition.

Ask yourself this question, why did mankind work his way up to the top of the food chain in order to become vegetarian?
I can justify eating animals simply because they're tasty, annoying and renewable.
Eating human meat is bad, far too much fat, but tastes like chicken, but if you can't pay the price to get you out of a Bangkok jail, don't bother.
Seriously, if you eat ALL 412lb of me, I think you are more evolved (or you'll evolve into something truly amazing, maybe 413lb!)

We are meat eaters, that's the way we are made. It doesn't make us evil. the Canabalism thing is a whole different matter. that would be wrong. the fact that we eat meat doesn't mean we therefore have no laws or morals, or common sense you must think that people who don't believe there is a God, are evil and lawless. I believe in evolution, because it makes sense and because it has and is continuing to be proven every day. that doesn't mean i don't also think there is a God. I think you have a bunch of stuff mixed up together in your head that shouldn't be and that your thinking is a little skewed because of it.

Evolution and who eats what might be loosely connected subjects, but ONLY very loosely... and certainly not the way you suggest.
Furthermore, there is no evil.
I intend to eat human flesh at some point in my lifetime, though I am waiting for the oppurtunity to arise where I can do so without legal repurcussions. I do not fancy the idea of being buttraped in jail for several years.

Apparently meat makes us aggressive. That is what I have been told anyways.
