Exactly.

So, either all that we believe MUST be true to enable us to eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood OR the charge of cannibalism is simply empty rhetoric.

Which is it?

Not quite.  You are not a cannibal (at least not from the traditional Eucharist; what you do at other times I cannot say).  But it is not merely "empty rhetoric" to call you a cannibal.  You would be a cannibal if your doctrine of Transubstantiation were true.  You believe yourself to be a cannibal.  Though, of course, you may not accept that term, as many people say all sorts of things and then insist that the terms that accurately apply to them, do not apply to them.  Oftentimes, people misuse words.

If the doctrine of transubstantiation were true, then Catholics would be cannibals.

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
