No way! There are some cultures that still exist today that eat the brains of family members when they die. This can transmit prion diseases similar to vCJD. Unfortunately, it took a long time to discover the link between the practice of eating human brains and onset of disease because the incubation period for this type of disease is so long. (Usually a minimum of 20 years). Even so, they haven't changed their practices.....
Sorry, went
there for a minute!
OK then.
Would you give up your favourite food forever, if it ended all hunger in the world?
