Err, you wouldn't want to eat yourself. First, you're obviously no
spring chicken (unless an accident has happened to your young self),
then the periphery is in a more or less pronounced state of decay
because of the process of dying, and large portions of your body mass
now consist of, well, chemicals. Finally, you do not at all look good.
You must be really starved before you can even contemplate
autocannibalism without provoking nausea (blechhh, yuck).
