Where did the word cannibal come from?
"Cannibal" comes from the Spanish Canibales, a word first used by Christopher Columbus. During his time in the West Indies, Columbus heard stories about a group of natives who would eat the flesh of humans. These natives came from a place called Caniba, so Columbus befittingly named them "Canibales." As far-fetched as this story may seem, it is true!

Because many infections pass from victims to consumers, diseases linked to cannibalism should be very common, fact that does not happen. This could be due to the fact that cannibals usually feed alone. "Maybe this is why cannibalism is no longer common among people as it was in the past, because of the strong negative effects it can have when transmitting a disease.

Popular definition is that Cannibal means a species that eats members of its own species. Historically Cannibal is a named used to describe a set of Caribbean islanders (the Carib tribe) that waged war on the Spanish Armada. One of their tactics was to sneak on board, or otherwise ambush the armada and steal the body parts of victims. These body parts would be displayed on pikes around islands that this group claimed as a warning to others. While the 'act' generally ascribed to the term is older than this tribe or conflict, it was during this conflict that the term was linked to the act.
to eat something of your own species, in most cases, for a human to kill and eat another human.
It is likely that Jesus ate fish, so probably not.
The simple mention of fish and loaves lends to the reasoning that he was not a vegetarian completely. There is little to go on but the few mentions in the Bible including the Last Dinner tends to show that he was not a vegetarian, at least not by a modern point of view.
There is a mention that he did "fast" a time or two which means he must have eaten just like any other human. As people's diets at the time consisted of very little meat, it was still eaten, especially at events and gatherings.
Answer:
"And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house..." (Matt.9:10).
The inspired original manuscript mentions "reclined" at home where the KJV says "sat at meat." The meaning, however, refers to the "taking of a meal" since reclining was a person's position in those days when meals were taken.
So, while Jesus may not have actually been eating "meat" that particular day at home... it's true that He partook of the Passover lamb.
I'm confident that He enjoyed a balanced diet of meat and vegetables. Don't most average Jews like meat and veggies? But then again, Jesus wasn't an average man.
Ultimately, we must follow the first commandment...Thou shall not kill.
Can illegal people get Medicaid?
I assume you mean, "undocumented aliens," because being a person is not illegal anywhere in the US, even Arizona. In general, one must be a citizen to receive Medicaid. Certain categories of "legal" aliens may also qualify. An undocumented alien may receive Medicaid for emergency treatment only, if the alien meets all the other factors of eligibility (over 65, under 18, caring for a relative under 18, or permanently and totally disabled; little or no income/assets).
Where cannibalism has occurred?
History has had its share of cannibals. Jeffrey Dahmer killed a record of 17 men and boys. Also considered as one of the notorious homosexual cannibal serial killer. Albert Fish notoriously known as The Boogeyman, Brooklyn Vampire, Grayman and Werewolf of Wysteria. This criminaly insane pedophile has murdered four children and confessed to cannibalizing them. Issei Sagawa while taking classes at the famed Sorbonne, Issei Sagawa, the son of a wealthy Tokyo industrialist, invited fellow student Renee Hartevelt to his apartment to discuss literature. Once the unsuspecting "dinner guest" arrived, the slightly-built Sagawa shot her in the back of the neck, had sex with her corpse, and started nibbling on her nose and part of a breast. "It had no smell or taste, and melted in my mouth like raw tuna," he wrote in the Fog, his post-cannibal best-selling account of his dinner with Renee.
Georg Karl Grossmann was another post-WWI-German degenerate that made a living selling human flesh. Georg, a horrifying individual, was acquainted with every kind of perversion, even bestiality. A former butcher, after nights of heavy drinking, he would bring prostitutes home, have sex with them, and hack them into pieces. The next day he would peddle their flesh as beef or pork. Karl Denke a German innkeeper from Silesia with a taste for the "long pig," Denke butchered at least thirty of his lodgers and kept their pickled remains in the basement of his inn.

How did cannibals kill people?

Yes they are. LOLZ
Actually, they did exist. It happened many times in history. One example is the donner party, they were left stranded in the woods (during winter) and some say that they were starving so they ate each other. However, I don't think that cannibals exist today! Thank goodness..... >_<
Yes there is and more than one
Maybe about 15 or more in this earth
Of course cannibals are real I mean there were like lots of then years ago lots of years
There are still some bug not as many as long ago D: there will always be cannibals living in this world
Sadly, yes.
As a matter of fact, humans have been doing it in ancient rituals as some sort of inhumane sacrifice or as a mad result of starvation. Insane as it may be, it's true. They're not as common as they were hundreds of years ago.
