The main problem facing efforts to wipe-out starvation in third world countries is that people feel no connection to those children. The commercials appealing to our conscience and sympathies are ineffective because, even though the images are awful, the viewer feels removed from the people in the commercials. There is no connection because the commercial could be nothing more than a fictional image in a movie. We hav

Thus, it would appear that besides supplying food for the world's starving children, using cadavers for food would also solve many social problems. Not only would processing the dead for food eliminate starvation, but we would have the added benefits of freeing up valuable farm land and of not subjecting financially and emotionally distraught families to additional monetary burdens. The health benefits alone would make this solution worthwhile. But not everyone will agree, and there are several objections which can be raised. However, these objections ultimately fail because the potential benefits far outweigh the perceived indignities and immorality.

The solution should, by now, seem obvious. We must stop wasting precious resources and use them to help support our fellow human beings. Land currently used for cemeteries should be cleared for use as farmland, and all future dead should be processed into food for the starving. While initially repulsive, careful reasoning will prove this to be the best solution.

A more pragmatic objection is that the American public would never give permission for their bodies to be used as food. The lack of organ donors would support this view. Currently we do not have enough people donating minor parts of their bodies after they die. How, then, can we expect the public to donate their bodies as meals for the less privileged? The answer is simple. Education and economic incentives will entice people to make this small sacrifice. By educating people about the plight of children in third world countries, the expense and hardship of feeding them, and the benefits of feeding them human flesh, the public will see that morality, the drive to be a good person, demands that they donate their bodies. Education is the key to solving the organ donation problem and would work for this problem as well. For those who remain unconvinced economic incentives will provide motivation to participate. By offering tax breaks, rebates, or some other monetary encouragement, the stragglers could be brought to the program. In modern American society people often do things that they find objectionable for minimal gain. Why should we expect that selling their bodies after death would be any different?

Libby's Manufacturing. "Appendix C: Preparation and Processing Costs per Unit by Product,"

First, as previously stated statistics show, the current U. S. death rate is roughly 54,000 people a day, and the children dying from starvation every day number approximately 50,000. The numbers are almost identical. This could easily provide 54,000 meals for 50,000 starving children. However, most children would be unable to eat a whole person, so actually we could provide two or more meals with each dead body for each child on the edge of death. Of course, the numbers are not exact. Some bodies would be unusable because of disease, but the majority would be edible.
