AZTEC CANNIBALISM
ABSTRACT
"It has been proposed that Aztec human sacrifice and cannibalism can best be explained as a response to population pressure and famine. The greatest amount of cannibalism, however, coincided with times of harvest, not with periods of scarcity, and is better explained as a thanksgiving. Tenochtitlan recevied large quantities of food tribute and engaged in intensive (chinampa) agriculture. These two sources alone would have provided enough to feed practically the entire population of the city. The Aztecs also consumed various animals and insects that were good protein sources. The amount of protein available from human sacrifice would not have made a significant contribution to the diet. Cannibalism was not motivated by starvation but by a belief that this was a way to commune with the gods."

PLEASE CONSIDER VEGANISM
'Since we have 60 years of food left (SOURCE: United Nation's most recent Report, 2019), it is a GOOD IDEA to STOP EATING MEAT. Meat eating causes 50% of our global environmental crisis. This means that we would not have an environmental crisis if we would simply stop eating meat. You do not need meat to survive. You need healthy food! To void cannibalism by the end of the century, perhaps now is a good time to revise our current unsustainable models of food production...If we do not restructure our economic model, and if we do not stop eating meat, humans will be forced to eat human flesh by the end of this century.
