It only tastes nasty for a moment while you swallow it. :)

At what you wrote but, of course, as I was careful to point out, not at you
or Robin personally.
The first time I encountered this human body = meat (outside of the classic
Eucharistic context, which would presumably turn a few righteous Christian
stomachs if they ever thought for a moment about what they were saying) was
in L. Ron Hubbard's $cientology rantings. (Get thee behind me, Thetan!) A
good reason just by itself to avoid the usage.
