Hey all.

I am a third-year anthropology student doing research for a term paper. I am trying to explain why cannibalism is a taboo in Western society, and what its origins are. One of my main arguments is that we are taught to hate and fear cannibals through stories and (more modernly) films.

I need to know of any examples of children's stories, books, or films that feature cannibalism besides the obvious ones like Hansel & Gertel and Silence of the Lambs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
