On the note of how human tastes, many cannibals have said that it tastes quite a lot like pork.
Rather than the obvious comment of "it tastes like chicken" which most people resort to when describing the taste of something to make others more willing to eat it... I've never understood that comparison though, chicken is boring unless seasoned/prepared/cooked in specific ways. Just go cook a breast in nothing but a little oil in a pan and it's utter crap. Do the same with some bacon or a steak and it's not half bad. Add seasoning to anything and I bet you could make a trotter or a jaw bone taste good. Hell wrap something in batter and herbs and most people wont question what the meat is, it tastes that damn good. You could probably pass off human ribs as any other animals rack, just barbecue them bones up and the taste will follow.
On the unhealthy aspect of eating human meat, too much can both drive you insane and give you a full body tremor like parkinson's disease. So, it's the kind of thing you could only eat on occasion. Hell most ancient Western European cultures were animistic, so eating ones ancestors and relatives at their funeral was common place, part out of the luxury of meat I imagine, but also as a spiritual symbolic ceremony of having them become a part of you as you were once part of them. I've never understood the reaction most people have to cannibalism... Of course, unconcentual is wrong, but to thus daemonise and hate it out of general principle is silly really. Anyway, I'd eat just about anything, just to try it, just to say I have, just to see if there is anything out there that's nicer for special occasions than the big three (chicken, pig, cow), which I personally find a bit repetitive.
I think I'll stop there before people get more worried than they probably already are...
My apologies...
