IDAHO
ere’s some (hard-to-digest) food for thought. Idaho Republican Rep. Heather Scott introduced legislation to expand the parameters of a pre-existing anti-cannibalism law, reported. Apparently, the current Idaho law, made official in 1990 and establishing Idaho as the only state where cannibalism is officially illegal, failed to satisfy the anthropophagist-fearing Scott and her supporters, not with standing the fact that it clearly outlaws “willfully (ingesting) the flesh or blood of a human being.” House Bill 522, —was introduced back in February and passed in early March. Scott had begun to worry that the green burial business, aka “human composting,” might contaminate the food supply — or — perhaps encouraging the proliferation of “bags of compost with human bone fragments.” She’d seen an online spoof of a cooking show that joked about ingesting human flesh, and, not realizing it was a prank, took it as gospel — or . Still, just in case, now might be a good time to go vegan.
