Have You Been Waiting For Megyn Kelly To Discuss Cannibalism? Your Wait Is Over!

Fox’s America Live host Megyn Kelly has dealt with some pretty serious, harrowing situations in her day, and now she’s maintaining her reputation as a reporter who isn’t afraid to delve deep into even the most unsavory of stories by covering an incredibly taboo topic: Cannibalism!

Her guest this afternoon was Piers Gibbon, an explorer, author and host of a National Geographic special on cannibalism (airing Sunday). He discussed a tribe in Papua New Guinea that eat other human beings as a form of justice. He explains that this group kills, and then consumes, those whom they believe have caused harm on their village in the form of, say, “causing” an illness. According to Gibbs, this happens because the tribes people no longer see the suspected culprit as being human, but a witch who much be destroyed.

“How often does this happen?” asked a visibly concerned Kelly. “This is not something that happens all the time,” Gibbon responded. “And, for them, it would be something maybe once every six months, they would…” Kelly interrupted him with the rather emphatic observation that “That’s often enough!”

Ok, ok, but let’s get down to the morbid, sensational, chilling nitty gritty: What do people taste like? Are we more filet mignon or filet o’fish? According to Gibbon, the tribe claims people meat is “rather delicious.”

Delicious and illegal, kids, so don’t get any ideas.
