Colonial cannibalism at Jamestown in 1610

[Frankn]

I guess I somehow wanted to imagine that more civilized people couldn't resort to cracking open ones head and eating their brains . I knew about it happening in tribal areas and such , steeped in superstition ,
and I suppose it's easier to write them off as savages. But then if you think about the Salem witch trials ( burning at the stake) and such, there isn't much humans haven't done to one another . It's a weird world we all live in.

And disturbing as it is.... She was dead at the time, presumably from natural causes. I'd still eat tree bark and worms first..

Yes, I think it would turn me into a veggie also. Frank...

When you are starving, your body goes into survival mode and seeks hi-protein nourishment. Brains are that.
I understand the colonists also dug up the corpses of the dead to feed upon...
