Ok, so, I'm not sure what to make of this. John Vescio sent me a link to a product called HuFu which, according to the HuFu FAQ, "is designed to resemble, as humanly possible, the taste and texture of human flesh" while actually containing "no human or animal products". Got it? It's a vegan product that tastes like human flesh. The site isn't graphic, but still, you may not want to go read more.
Update:
TM Lutas thinks HuFu is in poor taste. He also makes a larger point about taboos existing for a reason, and I agree (isn't that part of being "conservative"?); cannibalism is a particularly valuable taboo, in my humble opinion.
That site was SUPER gross. They even had recipes!
EEEWWWW.
Probably Democrats.
DD said: "Probably Democrats."
Sounds a lot like Rush Limbaugh.. who wrongly accused Democrats of creating a Terri Schiavo memo that was later revealed to be written by the legal counsel of a Republican senator.
The moral: Assumption is the mother of all screw-ups.
Oh, come on. Don't take everything so seriously.
Good grief, I can't say anything around you without you launching into some philosophical analysis.
DD: There's nothing philosophical about it.
haha.
I have a feeling that this site is a joke. Notice how the only item they have for sale that purportedly tastes and feels like human flesh is backordered.
It reminds me of a similar hoax... the ManBeef.com website that, once upon a time, claimed to be the world's leading distributor of real human meat.
The website was changed in June of 2001 to say that the site was a joke. The domain "ManBeef.com" is, currently, a porn site.

It may be a hoax, you know. Another vegetable rights activist sent me a link once to a site called MeatShake that supposedly advertised an actual stand where you could buy shakes made out of blended raw meat. They had made-up nutritional information and everything.
Ya know, this is off topic but, i used to be able to read your site at work until that naked man ass ad in the right column showed up. I find that more disgusting than HuFu. Especially if you connect the dots....yuck.
Yes, I thought it was pretty obviously a hoax :)
Freak: It's money. I suppose I could take it down, but I'd rather get the $10 and just avert my eyes for a week. Still, in hindsight (npi), I won't be accepting another ad like that. I've learned to check the submissions more carefully.
finally, the taste of human babies without the pang of guilt!
If I ever father a child, I think I'd like to taste the placenta. That doesn't count as cannibalism, right?
Michael,
I'm just saying that man asses don't appeal to me, that's all - just my opinion.
I'm not one of those people that complain about something that offends me and hope you take it down.
I'll continue to read your blog, no matter what you advertise, i just can't do it at work.
So, keep on making money - and lots of it!
Man asses...*snicker*
*looks around for any semblance of maturity*
How do they know it tastes like human meat?
Also, the day will come when genetic engineering lets you grow all the bona-fide human meat you want without any complete humans involved. It'll be a big hit somewhere, but probably not the US.
Although, I can see a market around these parts for human breastmilk (also produced in mass quantities through the wonders of genetic engineering), and not all of it for infants either...
