(If you can guarantee no prions — don’t really care about the no one harmed bit, as long as I don’t know them or they’re on my shitlist —, and it’s cooked in some way I enjoy — no fancy gourmet spherified vapour shit, thanks — then yeah, definitely, I’m no vegan or anywhere close, but I’d rather eat human than some other animal who can’t consent or have done anything to deserve being murdered and eaten.)
Said this on another comment: eating human meat does not increase your chance of prions. If you eat another human with prions disease, then you get it. But if you don’t eat prion-infected meat, you don’t get prions.
We eat deer, which also get prions. We also eat cow, which also get prions (mad cow disease, which also infects humans). We avoid getting prions with regulation of those markets. We could do exactly the same in this scenario.

Tell that to victims of kuru.
We eat deer
No, I most definitely don’t.
which also get prions
I don’t think “get” is the right word. We gave them prions when we put them together with sheep with scrapie to see if it could be transmitted to deer. Which it could. And by “we” I mean humans, but specifically the USA, because of course it was the USA. Probably trying to make biological weapons. Well, congratulations, I guess, fantastic success there.
We avoid getting prions with regulation of those markets
No we don’t. Capitalism ensures that we get regular outbreaks of human transmitted mad cow disease (which at some point would start spreading from human to human and kill us all, if CWD didn’t get us first), and the deer stuff is completely unregulated (and will become even worse with that raving orange lunatic in the white house).
It’s a matter of time (probably less than five years, given the collapsing state of the USA) before it starts spreading to humans and becomes an unstoppable pandemic that’ll kill us all.
The only reasonable course of action would be to nuke all affect areas until every square centimeter of the ground turns to glass, but we aren’t going to do that, because we care more about short term profit and optics than about the inevitable extinction of the human race.
Does the “gurantee” include prions…? 🤨

Prions seem to accumulate in the brain and spinal cord. Stay away from those and you’re probably good!
it says was harmed, not that noone will be harmed
I think I’ll pass, then, thanks.
