Since mad cow disease started because they were being fed cow brains or something like that , then cant that happen to humans too who are cannibals.

My parrots LOVE chicken, but they don't get sick because the meat is thoroughly cooked. Just make sure that the human is not diseased and is properly prepared and cooked. Yum!

Actually, Many many years ago their was a tribe of people that were still cannibals and they did get sick. The symptoms were much like mad cow disease. They found out is was because they ate the brains. It was very close to the same micro organism that causes mad cow. So you are correct.

People have never been known to be "cannibals." That is a myth. BUT some people do eat the brains of their enemies and of their loved ones...and in these societies, there is differently mad "cow" disease....Brains are NOT a good organ to eat, either by man or animals. And cooking them doesn't seem to get rid of the prions that cause the disease.

The cannibals who eat humans for "nourishment" as opposed to ritualistic cannibalism have, historically, preferred plump to fat women. Centuries ago (to the early twentieth century, when cannibalism still existed in the Solomon Islands (South-east of Australia) women were fattened up like hogs, roasted and eaten. If I were to enjoy human meat, that's what I'd want on my table, a nice plump young woman. Ritualistic cannibalism involved various aspects. The Sacred King, for example, was a male who was chosen to be king for a specified amount of time (usual about a year). fed the choicest foods, given the most beautiful women (averaging about 4 wives) & lived in luxury. At the end of that time, they'd be sacrificed and a portion of them was eaten.

Some do. But it does not arise from eating humans per se -- it arises from eating meat tainted with diseases such as kwashiorkor, which is carried in human flesh.
