    I don’t think it’s joking about cannibalism so much as it’s a metaphor or figurative speech.

    Although I don’t want some weird prion disease, if rich people were the only remaining food source, I’d eat them.

      It’s why I never say “eat the rich”, instead say: “compost the rich”. That way everyone knows I am serious about both parts of the ‘joke’.
