>It's perfectly acceptable to eat your own children if you are hungry

How old are your children? How old are you?
You underestimate how horrible an extreme urge for nourishment feels.

Possible, I find it hard to imagine Maslow's hierarchy of needs overriding Paternal and Maternal genetic and environmental instincts and a collective social influence of taboo catastrophically failing at the same time and turning me into an animal.
It's modestly acceptable.

If they died without your intervention then yeah it is

Maybe they were already dead and he just ate the corpses. Children and old people are the first to go in a famine.

God you sound like a dick
>>3211035
I'm pretty sure that the dead don't care if you eat them or not.

You can always breed more offspring if you live to do so.

>turning me into an animal
Animals feel both those instincts and eat their offspring when starving, anon. The only thing that's different is human intelligence.
But it being taboo and horrible can also be counter acted by the very sensation of extreme hunger which the human mind isn't used to experiencing and can't fucking handle.
It's not to justify it but there's virtually no reason to see humans eating their offspring as different from bears unless the children are a certain age. Unless you can't wrap your head around the sensation of hunger and starvation and what it drives people to do.

You have it reversed, otherwise this kind of think wouldn't happen.
