"Agh.  Doesn't make sense.  Your digestive system doesn't differentiate the source of your food!  Regardless of what type of flesh it is (human, pig, cow, chicken, insect), if it's protein - it's going to be broken down as amino acids through digestive enzymes in your digestive tract."

I mean you are correct in terms of saying that, to the stomach, only chemical composition is important. But if you think there is no chemical difference between a cow, a chicken, or an insect, and human, well you are horribly mistaken. Even if the macronutrient were identicaly (colories, carbohydrates, fats, and protein content) matches (they are not), food consistants of so many more chemicals that the differences, chemically, between 100 calories of cow and 100 calories of pig (or anything else) is so vast that they are very different substances to our stomachs.
