Well, prions and parasites are one concern; but another thing is, it's pretty much all springing from the same source - eating your own species is the equivalent of putting up a bullseye with a 'COMPATIBLE HOSTS HERE' written underneath on yourself. Viruses, bacteria, prions, whatever - if it infected your dinner, it has a 99% chance of being able to infect you too.

THEY COOK BABIES IN CHINA

That same set of pictures has been circulating on the net for many, many years. All the venerable old-school shock sites like Rotten and Ogrish used to feature the pics at regular intervals, and I'm pretty sure I first saw them when I was in middle school---well over a decade ago.

Therefore, you should eat only young and healthy people.

Like babies! See, that's why the Chinese were right all along. Child chow mein, anyone?

Apparently there are health concerns related to eating human blood/brains, though, I believe?
From what I vaguely remember reading in the past you just have to make sure it's cooked well.

Not good enough to stop the prions which cause those diseases I listed. According to the Wiki, the process for sterilizing instruments that might have been contaminated with prions involves copious amounts of bleach and lye.

It's because prion diseases are even less alive than viruses are. Where a virus still has a basic wall to hold it together, a prion is basically just a uniquely folded protein that your brain essentially "trips" on, in the process breaking the protein apart into two pieces (each of which then pull parts from their surrounding to become two complete copies of the original). Since it's essentially just a free floating protein in your system without even anything to hold it together, it's even less destroyable than most viruses are, which are basically just a bit of dna surrounded by a protein wall. Less important parts to target and all that jazz.

Child mein, you could say.

This is one of the few times that English's weird pronunciation is a good thing.

20? That's way too easy. A pun that good is DC 28, at least.

Who said anything about PUNS?

I assume you're sigging Cinder's baby-eating pun, and not my confession of love.

Well you know what they say about assuming.

They make you eat babies?

Well you know what they say about assuming.

It forms the basis for pretty much all human interaction?
