What does the part about fat starvation mean? It seems too theoretical, because people have actually survived starvation by eating other people.

"Another really old example on tabooification of cannibalism, the Algonquian myth of the Wendigo, says that a human being that commits cannibalism can become a human-eating monster."

This clearly is not Literature, but I don't know where we ought to move it to.

I pulled the link for Biter in webcomics (http://www.bitercomics.com/comic/the-dead-of-winter) due to very suspicious behavior. It would not allow me to access the comic without installing an extension in my browser that purported to be called "Privacy Anywhere". I find sites requiring me to install things that do not seem necessary for what I'm trying to do very untrustworthy.

Pulled this entry from the Comic Book folder:

• Marvel has those who eat human flesh (in Canada) turn into a Wendigo. It happens more often than you might expect.

If it happens "more often than I might expect", then it should be possible to describe at least one specific example.

Let's just say and leave it at that.
