Cannibalism Done Right

I’ve been playing The Outer Worlds over again recently and while I’m enjoying this playthrough so far, I’ve noticed something crop up that caused me to pause the game and start writing this. That thing is cannibalism, and I started thinking a lot about it during the quest Slaughterhouse Clive.
