I don't doubt you do believe it. I'm just mystified that people can read a pretty obvious metaphor and mistake it for something else.
We concede that it isn't a concept we have the mental capacity to understand, in the same way an ant doesnt have the brain to understand math. That's why we call it a mystery, as you said. The communion host still looks, tastes, and smells like bread, and is processed in our bodies like bread. But we belive that in some way that we can't grasp, God is present there.

It shouldn't become necessary for humans to eat other humans in order to survive.(at least on a large scale) I don't really see anything morally wrong with eating other humans (but not murdering them) when you are starving. There's no consciousness there. It's just a carcass. I'm sure I would refuse or gag though.
Part of me wonders if he was slightly trolling to get a rise out of people. I find it hard to believe he genuinely feels as though eating dead people shouldn't be taboo, especially considering it can be dangerous/unhealthy.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
