Eating humans is hazardous to your health
Going out to eat with a pal is one thing, but actually eating your friend for lunch could cause serious health problems.

Health guru Randall Fitzgerald, is the author of The Hundred-Year Lie (Plume), a book that reveals how to protect yourself from chemicals that could ruin your health, and says the human body is so contaminated with chemicals from modern life that we can’t eat ourselves.

Fitzgerald says, “If cannibalism were legal in this country and our flesh was up for review by the FDA, we would all fail the inspection.” He says our bodies house hundreds of synthetic chemicals from beauty products, tap water, and medicines that are all toxic.

So what it boils down to is that being the next Hannibal Lecter is still not a good idea. Says Fitzgerald: “We’re simply not fit for human consumption.”
This "article" is probably a scanned-in press release from the aforementioned "health guru" or the PR type flacking his new book. Apparently someone thought it would be "cute" to talk about environmental chemicals from a cannibalism angle.

What were they thinking? Were they thinking?

Memo to the health guru: cannibalism is creepy.

Memo to the PR flack who thought this was cute: associating your client with cannibalism and other creepiness does not make people want to buy your client's stuff (certain niche markets excepted, of course--but you don't want to go there).
