also the well known joke about Dick Cheney that he's the kind of guy who discusses cannibalism right when he steps in the lifeboat.

There are many recorded cases of parents eating their child's when hungry such as Bengal famine, holomodor, Armenian genocide and other Tsarist Russia famines, so yeah, when driven people can eat not only corpses, but their own children corpses

There's also the case of the Uruguayans stuck in the Andes after their plane fell and facing starvation they ate the bodies of dead friends whom where on the plane

People suspect all kinds of things, particularly when they're suspecting them about someone they think is weird.

> Also... do you feast on corpses when you're hungry?!

Of course, everybody does. You must have heard about the Donner Party? They're not unique.
