Far more efficient than burying people and wasting all the land.

  Maybe burning the deceased is a better solution to your land wasting concern. I'd be wary of eating tertiary consumers, if for no other reason than prions. For example, there are risks in eating dolphins because of mercury concentrations that build up. Don't eat tertiary consumers.

  > wasting all the land The waste exists only because we deem those locations as sacred. Otherwise, burying is the most efficient use of resources.

    How? I don't think human bodies are mineral rich.

      It isn’t about minerals. You become food for the critters and microorganisms and your resources are placed back into the natural cycle.

        But ... there's 50 kg of meat for an average person. Should be good for a whole week!
