Nope. I'm not a vampire or a cannibal.

Jeffrey Dahmer probably did.

You are too literal, it's symbolic. Read on and learn.
Conforming to the rite of the Passover meal, Christ took bread into his hands, pronounced the prayer of praise, and then broke the bread. Primitively, this Breaking of the Bread was the only rite which occurred between the Eucharistic prayer and the communion. In fact, the Eucharist itself was once called “the breaking of the bread”. The bread is broken for two reasons; 1) because Jesus did it at the Last supper, and 2) because the one large loaf which had been consecrated needed to be divided. Individual “hosts” began to be used only when the congregations became so large that breaking the one loaf became impractical. The gesture is seen as a sign of unity – participating in the one bread which is broken, all form one body in Christ. The mixing of a small piece of the consecrated bread into the chalice of Christ’s blood symbolizes the resurrection, reuniting the body and blood of Jesus before Communion, a kind of symbolic re-enactment of the Lord’s resurrection. For a time, it was the custom of the Pope to send a small portion of consecrated bread to the churches in his neighborhood for use in this gesture. As the church grew farther and farther away from Rome, individual priests began to use this gesture in Mass simply “because the Pope did it”.

Since God stated that the eating of human flesh is a sin, then Jesus never meant that you were literally eating his body and drinking his blood which is also a sin in God's eyes were he says to not eat blood and to abstain from blood which means have NOTHING to do with blood. Your interpetation of Jesus' words are in error. You have been so minipulated by your churches' doctrine that you will suffer in your churches' sins which have massed clear to heaven, are you willing to perish for the sake of your churches' doctrine? Are you so willing to give up eternal life just so you can stubbornly follow your church? Just like the Israelites you will be called a stiff neck people.

Yes because he said to "do this in memory of me" At mass the bread and wine is changed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ (Catholic teaching). We belive that because that is what Jesus did when he blessed it and gave it to his disciples and told them to continue doing that. it isn't canibalism.

Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
-Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1794

This eating and drinking ,which is under the sign and species of bread and wine, should only be done by those who believe that they are doing the above and are in the state of grace and faith,hope and love.
