Ah, I was wondering when you would get to this topic.  I came across this
quote yesterday in "The Count of Monte Cristo", by Alexandre Dumas.  The
book is set in the early 1800s.

[Penelon, a sailor, is speaking] "As for us, we were three days without
anything to eat or drink, so that we began to think of drawing lots who
should feed the rest..."

Didn't "Stranger in a Strange Land" make much the same case for eating
one's friends & relatives?
