If you're not taking the morality of cannibalism into consideration, many devastating diseases can be transmitted by eating humans. A well known one is Kuru, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. More recently, a similar encephalopathy called mad cow disease reared its ugly head. It was believed to have come from cows being fed feeds containing meat, including from cattle and sheep, another species susceptible to encephalopathy. If humans had consumed humans infected with the mad cow disease, they would have contracted contracted it also. You can also contract more common diseases. It's not a good idea for humans to eat their own species or to feed animals their own species, especially if humans will be consuming them.

Or...

...because we are also humans.

There is a lot of animals that are not carnivores. And they cannot even eat humans! I believe lions may eat zebras, antelope, giraffes, and wildebeests. Tigers may eat deer, that is all I know. Bears eat berries, maybe sometimes foxes, and deer. Elephants eat plants and peanuts. Giraffes eat leaves and plants. Horses eat hay and plants.
