Well tbh even here you see that Himari is on the flat side and Rio has some serious assets.
I'm not really confident on the name of the v-tuber here, but this is the best I could do since she (through her hair bows) was definitely part of the image.
Ngl if you really think about it if we practiced cannibalism we would not only solve world hunger, but also overpopulation and reduce deforestation massively as we wouldnโt have to chop down rainforests for farms.
Also we slaughter hundreds of millions of animals a day not just for food but for our clothes and we also inflict immense suffering on animals such as literally raping cows just to make milk. Cannibalism might inflict less suffering than factory farming, and would help us stop factory farming as we will not be eating as much animal meat.
Chickens will eat just about anything that they can gobble down they're like walking bird trash cans which includes other chickens but they don't go out of their way to kill another to eat them

This is a common misconception. Johnathan Swift doesnโt suggest that the poor eat their babies, but instead that they sell their babies as food to the rich. He also makes calculations on how much their meat would be worth.
A Modest Proposal is directly making fun of capitalism, and more specifically business owners through this. It makes fun of the idea of business in general with making out the price of the meat and trying to make a profit, as well as pointing out the unethical practices of business owners.
In a post capitalist society cannibalism can still be mandated and managed by the state for good purposes.
We humans have a risk of getting prion disease every time we eat someone of our own species. It is incurable, horrible beyond measures and not a single person in the world wants to go out the way a prion disease will do to you.
coincidentally i just had this conversation today, and i had a theory that the aversion to cannibalism is an evolutionary trait that developed out of social animals like human. because social animals depend on each others to survive, it is disadvantageous for them to eat each others - rather than banding together & cooperating to find food (& distribute food, & preserve food) more efficiently. over time, natural selection weeded out those who practiced cannibalism, leaving those who doesn't. enough time passed and the "no-cannibalism" rule is somewhat hard-coded into genetic, producing adversed physiological effect in (most of) those who practices cannibalism (alongside the societal taboo).
when you look into other species, cannibalism is not really that taboo in general; nature is hardcore after all. a pair of rabbits (or any other rodents) having produced too much offsprings that they can't feed, may resort to offing some of their weakest offsprings to recover some proteins.

There are probably numerous factors for why that is, including what you suggested. I have for a long time considered one of the reasons actually being the prion disease, not because people knew what it was back then, but because they didn't know. The only correlation they had was that people that ate human flesh were more likely to go insane and die in a horrible way as time passed, leading to superstitions of some god or another punishing them for the deed or simply that eating one's own flesh lead to you being cursed (/similar concepts depending on the time period).Us being social animals definitely plays a part, but I do suspect it is a multitude of factors that lead to it becoming the taboo it became for most civilizations.

I've seen a lot of these extra dialogue Tweets by the artist, sadly they aren't uploadable in some way and often not connected to a specific image/chapter.
Klovis the Redeemer, the main character of a 40k comic called The Redeemer, and his lackey, Deacon Malakev. A man whose solution to getting information out of an undead cultist was, in his own words
Klovis the Redeemer said:
I can bring him back to life... and then torture him!
"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Redeemer our lord! He will smite down the filthy mutant! He will crush the deviant horde! We will be his shield and armour! We will be his flaming sword! As we go marching on!
Glory, glory the Redeemer! Glory, glory the Redeemer! Glory, glory the Redeemer!"
"AS I GO PURGING ON!"
EDIT: I can't believe I almost forgot my favourite Klovis quote: "IF IT DOESN'T HURT, IT DOESN'T COUNT!"
