I mean, is cannibalism really the worst problem here?

Humans are omnivores and if the alternative is to throw unused human parts underground or cremate them, feeding them to new humans is at least not a waste.

Is it possible to eat those humans? If it's actually nutritious I don't see a problem, and it's less wasteful, as you said. Soylent Green operated on this principle.

I mean, in many cases you could. In many places there aren't even laws against it. I'm personally of the opinion that we should treat animals similar to how we would treat humans, thus the translation for others to consider the same.

I totally agree, we should treat animals the same as we treat humans. I really don't understand why so many people value animal lives lesser to those of humans.
