The Catholic Church has been accused of cannibalism because of the Eucharist. So here is the difference. You can eat and drink human flesh under the appearances and "form" of human flesh and blood. But in the Eucharist you eat and drink the Body and Blood of Christ under the appearances and "form" of bread and wine. Chemical analysis still indicates it is bread and wine, but it is still considered substantially the Body and Blood of Christ. The Eucharist is therefore food for both the body; but especially and spiritually, for the soul.
