 And what of the cannibalism question ?

If cannabilism for survival is indicated do not eat the
brains. Stick to muscle meat and alway cook it well done. In
the long series about the return of magic to the world and
the death of high tech such as internal compubution engines.
Insane cannibals are the fate of city populations.
The Emberverse of  S.M. Stirling consoders cannabalism to be
the ultimate and unforgivable sin.
Read them all. Would read more if he was so bold as to
write more about a world with magic.
