You are probably correct about Brandes, but I was not really planning on exploring the reasoning behind universal anthropophagy. Nonetheless, there are supposed to be taboos against eating plants and non‐human animals because of a ‘natural’ disgust; non‐human animals can never agree to be consumed, and plants are seen as reserved for the wildlife. In this alternate reality, consuming these things is seen as atrocious and uncivilized, not consuming other people. Anthropophagy is actually seen as more humane, and people permit it because it helps.

Does that make sense?
