"actually, arata fed his kids human food." We already know this. No offense, but mentioning that to us was totally useless.

Ghouls are not capable of obtaining nutrition from normal human food. The point of the OP's comment is that Arata must have fed his children the dead beings he collected. This is because he did not hunt humans. If he had only fed them human food, they would have died before he disappeared. Because they cannot survive off of it.

Whether the dead corpses were ghouls or humans, most likely the latter. It's possible that he himself, as a pacifist, chose to cannibalize dead ghouls in order to accumulate power to protect his children in a worst-case scenario. He wanted his children to live peacefully and coexist with humans, so he probably only fed them what they needed to maintain health.

So IMO, he ate ghouls himself in case he ever needed the power while feeding his children "normally."
