Eating Bob

Eating Bob is an in-depth look at the nature of cannibalism in every sense of the word. It first draws the reader's attention to the non-cannibalistic means by which people ingest human-derived substances like when one eats flour-based cupcakes that contain L-Cysyeine of which "the cheapest source of this material is derived from human hair." Eating Bob then addresses cultural cannibalism, the social norm of lands like Mexico where "in worshipping Huitzilopochtli (the god of war), Aztecs sacrifice prisoners. The priest takes out the heart, offers it to the sun, and finally the bodies of the victims are consumed by the worshippers". Eating Bob also addresses cannibalism out of dire necessity as in the case of "the shipwreck of Francis Mary, en route from New Brunswick to Liverpool, England, with a load of timber in which survivors sustained themselves by eating those who perished". Finally, Eating Bob introduces reasons, rationales, and situations of criminal cannibalism in which the thoughts of eating human flesh take root in the minds of seemingly run-of-the-mill individuals as in the case of Antron Singleton, a locally-known Dallas rap artist who was found naked, covered in blood, and staring at the sky on February 2, 2002 after murdering Tynisha Ysais, whose flesh was found in his stomach after a medical examination. Eating Bob is a non-fictional text of the ages. Cannibalism has always been and cannibalism will always be, so we might as well get a glimpse...or shall I say have a taste
