Yep and now that is all I am going to hear on my local news for a time to come. And I knew a guy named McCuin and I somehow got a strange feeling this is his son.

This always brings to mind an old unanswered question I've had for quite a long time... Are humans red meat or white meat?

This sort of thing has gone on in all times and places. I suggest you take a look at "Wisconsin Death Trip." A fascinating history of insanity and violence in the small town of Black River Falls, Wisconsin. It is composed of period photos and newspaper articles in the 1890's. It is both a historical and photographic study.

Red, based on the amount of myoglobin which defines red or white meat.

Well... and I've wondered about the whole pig thing. I mean, supposedly pigs are close to humans in tissues and organs and stuff, and pigs are considered the other white meat... so maybe we are the other other white meat.
The only way to know for sure is to ask a cannibal.

Nope, it is like Veal.

Prior to 1931, New York Times reporter William Buehler Seabrook, in the interests of research, obtained from a hospital intern at the Sorbonne a chunk of human meat from the body of a healthy human killed by accident, and cooked and ate it. He reported that, "It was like good, fully developed veal, not young, but not yet beef. It was very definitely like that, and it was not like any other meat I had ever tasted. It was so nearly like good, fully developed veal that I think no person with a palate of ordinary, normal sensitiveness could distinguish it from veal. It was mild, good meat with no other sharply defined or highly characteristic taste such as for instance, goat, high game, and pork have. The steak was slightly tougher than prime veal, a little stringy, but not too tough or stringy to be agreeably edible. The roast, from which I cut and ate a central slice, was tender, and in color, texture, smell as well as taste, strengthened my certainty that of all the meats we habitually know, veal is the one meat to which this meat is accurately comparable."[30]

Thank you sir... my question has finally been answered, and with fact rather than just guesswork. Veal... hmmm... we taste like baby cows... I never would've suspected it.
