I don’t know about you, but I’m excited for all the candy this Halloween!

我不知道你喜不喜歡，我是愛死了今年萬聖節的糖果

Man I love my peanut butter cups!

尤其是我最愛的瑞氏花生醬巧克力！

But after the sugar rush, I always want something more .../savory/.

但是糖果大餐完畢後，我通常都想再來點幫助消化的小菜

With all these people out trick-or-treating, what would happen if you ateoh I don’t

當你和其他人一起喊著「不給糖就搗蛋」的時候，我不知道如果你吃的是‧‧‧ 我不知道

know, /human brains/?

~人腦~結果會怎麼樣？

I obviously don’t approve of this by any means, but let’s explore it anyway in the

我當然無論如何都不贊成吃這個玩意，但還是讓我們在詭異的萬聖節

spooky spirit of Halloween!

來探索一下這個問題吧！

To figure out what happens when you eat people and their brains, let’s take a look at the

想知道如果你吃了人肉和人腦後會怎樣，讓我們來看看

Fore tribe of Papua New Guinea.

巴布亞新幾內亞的「弗惹」部落

Up to as late as the 1960’s, the Fore tribe consumed their dead as a funeral ritual.

回朔到1960年的時候，「弗惹」部落吃死人的屍體是一種喪禮的儀式

They stopped because in a strange twist of fate, scientists found out when they ate human

後來因為一個奇異的命運轉折，他們停止了這種行為，科學家們發現當他們吃人腦時後

brains, they could contract a disease known as Kuru, which would feast on /their/ brains!

會感染一種叫做「Kuru」疾病，這種病會侵犯他們的腦部

Kuru is a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy disease defined by bent and misshapen proteins,

「Kuru」是一種「傳染性海綿狀腦病」是腦內蛋白質構成的朊毒體發生病變造成的疾病

or prions, in your brain that degrade neurological function.

會造成腦神經功能退化

They wreak havoc on the gray matter of the brain, leaving it looking like a deformed

它會嚴重破壞大腦灰質細胞，使大腦看起來像一個充滿空泡的

sponge.

畸形海綿

You could say this is no...laughing /matter/.

這可不是開玩笑的

But actually it is because its symptoms include random bursts of laughter, along with tremors

這種病的早期症狀包括了突發性的大笑及顫抖

and severe headaches in the earlier stages of the disease.

及嚴重的頭痛

The incubation period can last anywhere from a few years to as many as 60, but once it

發病潛伏期短則數年最長可到60年，可是一旦發病

starts, a person only has a few years to live.

就只有幾年可活

So, besides the obvious ethical reasons, you shouldn’t be having any protein-people shakes

除了很明顯道德上的原因，

just in case their brains got in there.

What about eating other parts of the human body, though?

As a whole, a grown man totals a little over 80,000 calories according to a recent study.

That’s quite a lot of protein and fat!

It seems far more reasonable to just eat an arm or an organ.

Wow, did I really just say that?

Anyway, an arm would be about 1,800 calories while the average human heart has about 720

calories.

So, if a cutie steals your heart this Halloween, tell them they owe you a few Snicker’s bars

from their candy haul to make up for it!

While there hasn’t really been any diseases associated with eating other parts of the

body, it’s not the best nutritional idea because of all the saturated fat you would

get if your diet was primarily human red meat.

The American Heart Association recommends only about 5% of your daily calories come

from saturated fat, so you should probably stay away from human or fatty meats in general.

Anyway, I hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween!

Tell those zombies they’d be better off eating something other than your /brains/!

What are you looking forward to eating this Halloween?

If you only eat human flesh, you definitely won’t get the nutrients you need.
