Asking if it's "natural" is a little bit too simplistic.
Cannibalism generally occurs when an organism needs to cull excess population in a region where there aren't very many naturally predators to allow the most amount of offspring to reach maturity. However, it can also be used to cut competing offspring out of the gene pool.
I wouldn't call it "Natural," just something that happens in Nature.

Cannabalism happens, but your GIF isn't a great example since McDonalds chicken nuggets undergo lots of processing and transformation to end up in a form that no longer much resembles a dead chicken. You could take human meat, put it through the process, box it in McDonald's branded cardboard, and probably get plenty of people to eat it without realizing what it is.

>> No.12451948

You need to define what you mean by "natural." If you were going by the assumed meaning of "occurring in nature" then yes it would be, but that wouldn't be saying much.

There's no such thing as a "fish".
A salmon is more closely related to a human being than it is to a hagfish or eel or something. Taxonomically and biologically speaking, fish is a meaningless word.
It's just out general term for "shit that lives in water and have vaguely the same outline". Like bug.

Scientifically, it's probably not true for humans.

When they feed animal parts back to cattle and farm animals of the same species there are issues such as mad cow and other spongiform prion diseases, virii, aka TSEs, or scrapie. Feed bans in the US makes this a non-issue, but imported meat? Anything goes.

It's not a healthy diet for them. They might eat those things, but it's not what they're supposed to eat. Not natural, you could say. They can eat it because it's food, but they probably do not metabolize it efficiently. Parrots evolved to eat a very specific diet which does not usually involve cows, except in the sense of eating predigested seeds from cow turds, which I guess is the parrot equivalent of yogurt and would have similar enzymatic properties to kopi luwak.

Thing is, this moron >>12451772 implies that cannibalism is normal because fish eat other fish.
Him saying it's normal isn't the problem, it's his stupidity in implying that if a shark eats a marlin then that's "cannibalism".

No, if it were "natural," then the thought of eating human would be appealing/appetizing. It however is not appealing because of biological reasons, just like how bark isn't appealing because of biological reasons (it does nothing for us nutritionally).

I went to have my turkeys slaughtered at a backyard butchers house, and the guy had a bunch of laying hens that were free to graze the entire property.

Maybe some subsaharan would be good because lean meat is good for the heart.
Everyone can agree that the NA variant of white meat is one to stay away from; too fatty and too many additives.
