As the title suggests, the article shares a different perspective on cannibalism and whether or not it's morally wrong. The author argues that we need to understand the reasons behind cultures consuming other beings and how we can maintain our humanity through consumption of animal flesh. It outlines how both traditions such as Judaism and Christianity (which use animals) contribute to our current understanding of what it means to be human by acknowledging that we are not above eating other creatures - even those with whom we would never share a meal. It explores how modern Western cultures have skirted this truth for far too long, continuing to inherently fear non-human beings but have overlooked what is human-like about their own morals regarding meat consumption. The article reminds us that we need to be honest about our society's commitment to upholding human rights and acknowledge that what we eat and how we define "human" is still a very recent concept in the history of our species. It argues that the definition of cannibalism has evolved over time and will continue to do so, while offering a new outlook on how we can look forward to future changes in human-like behavior without rejecting our current cultures.Cannibalism – According to Greek mythology, the half-god maimed and dismembered his own son Pelops and served him up as meat for a banquet held by King Tantalus. Cannibalism or anthropophagy is the human consumption or humans consuming human flesh, in the past it was practiced in many parts of the world including China, New Guinea, Liberia, Burma etc. Cannibalism also refers to the act of one organism killing another organism for food. The same meaning is found in some non-English languages such as Malay kahwin manusia atau binatang, although kahwin in this language means "to marry". Anthropophagy is also known in non-human animals, both great apes and rodents have been recorded to eat their own kind. Bonobos have been observed to engage in cannibalism during times of intense food scarcity. Cannibalism has occurred in societies around the world. Ritual cannibalism is common to some tribal societies in Africa, Oceania, and Native America. Cannibalism has also often been associated with ritualistic aspects of religion (e.g., Aztec, Inca). Other rituals, such as some branches of Shinto religion, have involved extreme self-sacrificial ritual acts that can be considered analogous to human cannibalism. Ritual cannibalism is a sacred activity in a number of spiritual or religious cultures. In a few societies, cannibalism has been a social custom. These customs fall into two broad categories: those societies where cannibalism was practiced as part of an institutionally-defined social behavior and those where it was practiced as an individual or personal choice. The practice of "institutionalized" cannibalism has been widespread in human history and reaches back millennia, to at least the Neolithic periods of Ancient China, Ancient Egypt and Palestine, the Bronze Age of the Middle East and Europe, and Europe during the Iron Age. cfa1e77820
