My point was more that it seems a lot more useful to use human cadavers as a food source, rather than further polluting our planet, as well as taking up useable land, by pumping them full of chemicals and then sticking them in the ground, inside of a coffin which would make it hard for the soil to benefit, in any way, from such an internment. I most definately wouldn't want to eat humans, mostly for the same reason I tend to avoid shellfish and other marine-based meals. I mean, if I ate humans who ate fish, then that's just that much more mercury and lead in my body. No thanks! ;)
I think it's probably a good idea it remains taboo, as well. I just think that the current trend of embalming and internment to be even more grotesque than cannibalism. My family is already well-aware of my final wishes, in that regard.
