Hungry for more

A German man accused of eating and murdering a compatriot has apparently told his retrial that he still fantasizes about killing and eating people when he sees attractive people on television or in the press.
Why for only attractive people? And does this mean his access to the media should be curtailed? And did the relative attractiveness of his alleged first victim influence his actions? And does his view of what is attractive coincide with the general view of "attractive"? And how would you feel as a model or person in the public eye to find out that you were the subject of a cannibal's fantasy?

And on the subject of cannibals, I read a question the other day which asked: who supplied the large cauldrons in which missionaries were cooked?

Funnily enough "attractive" was in the news again today. Apparently, according to a US study, non-attractive teens are more likely to grow up to commit crime or as it was explained later in the same report, but with a slightly different slant, attractive males were consistently less likely to be convicted of crimes... but more likely to be pin-ups (for cannibals ... hopefully not literally)!
