I agree, human lean muscle is pretty awful tasting -- just like most "lean" meats. The only way I'd eat this is if they find a way to grow adipose tissue as well, so I'm not stuck chewing on the equivalent of a raw artichoke. Now human brain, what a dangerous delicacy. Risk of prions are highest here, but so is that delicious fat. As for non-cerebrum nervous tissue, there's really no risk involved. I'm even told, after it's been strung out and cleaned, it tastes like corn. Can't say I'm a fan, but to each his own.
Else, there's nothing that really puts you as close to nature as eating your fellow man. Cain did it, and look at him. Pork can't compete, although it's a close second in taste. There's just something special about knowing you're eating something that has lived a complex life full of strife. One where extensive resources have been put into raising and making sure it gets the best out of life. Unlike beef, yuck. It all tastes the same when it's cooked. "Medium rare really gets the fatty flavor out." The only thing that needs to get out is you! Steak "enthusiasts" are about as able to differentiate Kobe from ground, as wine "aficionados" are with a 1945 Mouton Rothschild and a 2018 Franzia Chardonnay! Go raw or go home. Blue, if you're a stickler for "sanitation." Pro tip from a man that's never had parasites, don't eat out of a dumpster and make sure your butcher is amish or some other straight-shooting ethnicity. He'll be about as fluid in holding a conversation as Stephen Hawking with a harmonica down his throat, but he'll get you meat that's good.
And if you're really on the Schizophrenic spectrum, get yourself some Pyrantel from the local pharmacy and chug that badboy monthly.
