Brazil cannibal sect used human flesh for empanada pasties

Source: GlobalPost

Three people arrested on suspicion of murdering at least two women in Brazil have confessed to eating some of their victims’ flesh and using it to make the empanada pasties they sold to their neighbours, police said Friday.
snippity-snip

The accused, a man and two women, were arrested Wednesday in the town of Garanhuns in Brazil’s northeastern Pernambuco state. They said they were members of a sect and claimed a “voice” had commanded them to kill women they considered evil.

Good GAWD!! Really? This is just sickening beyond belief. They killed WOMEN, (Of, course, what else?), and chopped them up into meat pies and sold them ALL OVER TOWN INCLUDING THE LOCAL BEAT COPS!! If I found this out and I had eaten some of this "meat"...Oh LAWD... I would hurt someone and probably NEVER.EAT.OUT.AGAIN.

Police arrest man selling freshly cut penis

LILONGWE, Malawi - Police in Malawi have arrested a 24 year old man after he tried to sell the freshly cut penis from a 45 year old.

<snip>

Police said Banda had admitted selling “many body parts to well known business personalities”. Many locals believe human parts can bring riches, and unscrupulous businessmen and witchdoctors pay thousands of kwachas to poor locals to kill people and mutilate their bodies.

Albino girl killed for body parts

A six-year-old albino girl in Burundi has been found dead with her head and limbs removed, in the latest killing linked to ritual medicine.

Albinos in the region have been targeted because of a belief peddled by witchdoctors that their body parts can be used for magic potions.

But why should we let government regulate alternative medicine?

I simply pointed out, yeah, and a WOMAN did the cooking--

I didn't think the sex of the victim was as important as you did apparently. Oh, and with over 7 Billion people on this planet, you are bound to have cases of cannibalism. As the numbers rise chances for crazy shit to happen increase exponentially. I'm sure next week we will have somebody in Greece trying to fuck a rabbit or somebody in Austria come out with a recipe for foreskin dumplings

42. Yes, I guess that makes things better. Female genital mutilation is carried out on little girls

by women who KNOW how horrific the procedure is and what the VERY real outcome can be. There is a component to why they chose women only, it AIN'T rocket science to figure that part out for most of us.

43. Females tend

 

to produce more tender meat. Males are tougher and often have a gamey flavor (uncastrated males that is, and castrated male humans are hard to find these days).

So it kinda makes sense if you're doing it as a food source.

This had so much less to do with finding a food source as it did with arcane and self created craziness that posed as spiritualism while focusing on UTILISING women's bodies. FGM-same thing!

B) you made the point that it's always women in these cases when that clearly isn't not true.

Women are not always the victims of cannibalism. So portraying this as a sexism issue rather than a mental illness issue is inaccurate.

Chefs Rule! (Houston Press, July 7 2005)

I have also worked in commercial bakeries and a couple of restaurants, and the stories are all the same. I watched one chef "cauterize" a bleeding knuckle with a hot frying pan. I was agog at him as he did it, but his reasoning was because "the bandaid wouldn't stay on"

33. As yucky as that sounds,

what more people need to know about restaurants (at least in the US) is that unless you, the employee, are dead or dying, your supervisor/manager/employer wants you to come into work or you're fired.

So, no matter what illness or injury you may have, you must come into work or else. How often are customers exposed to illnesses where they eat without knowing it? I would bet it's quite often and then they attribute their catching something to getting it from their coworkers, friends, or family...

35. I'd love to see some laws addressing this area.

I just don't have much confidence in the current climate that they would pass. Elected officials are still too business/corporate-friendly to get much past them to reign in these methods of greed. And I don't even think some massive food-born-illness epidemic would hasten the passing of such laws, either. Businesses seem to be quite good at "damage-control" these days...

And still is, a very expensive hotel that I was planning to go and have a nice lunch in their sunny indoor atrium dining room. Sort of a special treat for myself.

But my co-workers warned me, 'Don't eat there, the kitchen would make a maggot gag!!'

Sure enough, I walked around the back to where they made all those lovely pastries and there were big old palmetto bugs climbing all over them, taste testing.

As they say about flies, 'They don't eat much.'

I saw one of the help select one, shaking the bug off, and put it on a nice paper doily on a lovely china plate to serve. The business crowd were clueless as they sat down to enjoy their dessert.

Sooo, those little black dots in baked goods are not always just where a seed or some flour got burned.

Yummy!!!

I don't know about you, but if I started hearing "voices" telling me to kill and eat people, believing them is going to be REALLY FAR DOWN THE LIST of things I do. Searching the house, checking my stereo, poking around the neighborhood for suspicious people or technology, maybe even seeing a psychiatrist.

But taking their word? Nah, I don't think so...

Our neighborhood has weird acoustics. We can hear people talking two blocks away, and hear sea lions barking four miles away. I almost jumped out of my skin, once, when I heard a big dog panting right behind me. When I looked up, the dog was half a mile away, on the other side of the gully that funnels the sound up to our house.

An empanada is a turnover made in Latin American countries. Both have some kind of meat filling with other vegetables. The Latin American versions may also have hard boiled egg pieces, raisins and olives in them. I have had both and except for some of the fillings, they are almost identical.
