On Human Sacrifice and Political Correctness

This text is somewhat related to one of my older essays, about the history of cacao and chocolate. When I was younger, I was once told that regularly practiced cannibalism didn't exist in any society in modern times. This was a racist, colonialist lie invented by prejudiced Europeans.

As I grow older and wiser and investigate things for myself, I see how wrong this claim was.
