>>26892189Concocting drugs for the sole purpose of making harvested meat taste better would require an incredibly deep understanding of biochem. The more drugs you use on someone at once, the more complex the interactions become, too. While /meat/ has a lot of medical knowledge, I was under the impression that they're a fairly primitive society whose medical feats mostly come from a combination of magic and first-hand knowledge of biology. Would your society even have the basic understanding of hormones and brain chemistry needed to begin developing drugs for the express purpose of altering hormones to make meat taste better? Of course, it would make sense if they've managed some success through sheer trial and error, since cannibalism is the entire foundation of their culture.
>spoilerTo be honest, even if that Briskadet comes back and gives me permission to make them cannibals, I'm still not sure I'd be able to write about human livestock. Noctyx's territory is small enough that I simply do not have the kind of space an industry like that would take, not unless I downscaled the population significantly so that there are lots of tracts of empty land. Perhaps if it was a small-scale luxury good, as previously discussed? Hm. I will have to think on this. But I should really stop getting distracted by new ideas and focus on actually organizing the documents I already have so that they're presentable enough to be posted. Just spilling my thoughts out in barely coherent posts is so much easier than making nice rentries, though...
