Well… not… I mean, if you copied the ENTIRE buffer, you’d presumably have to murder your food, first. I suppose you could kill two birds with one stone by ripping through their neck with your teeth or stabbing them in the brainstem with an old-fashioned brass bloodletting syringe, then such out the delicious brains / cerebrospinal fluid.
…Or, of course, you could kill two birds with one stone by copying two female crewmen, and bludgeoning them to death with a stone.
Although, really, if your end goal is just to taste human flesh regardless of legal and ethical consequences, you could just take a bite out of the beardy fellow in front of you.
That depends, do you consider umbilical cords as something that “could have been part of a human”? If not, then I guess I’m not a cannibal…I guess I dodged a bullet there.
Food synthesizers are not voice activated (TAS is not canon) only the replicators are. Furthermore, each recipe must be individually programmed into the machine/machine card for synthesizers and replicators, respectively.

My home!
That is not real human flesh. That arm is covered with a tissue that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike human flesh.
Surprisingly, the tea was spot on, though.
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
Genetically equivalent taste…
I love you.
I’d probably make the same pick at some point
I would have gone with unicorn. Human just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I have to devour souls AND dreams these days. Sigh. Escalation, amirite?
But you’d have a half-life. A cursed life. u_u
I suppose if you’re REPLICATING it’s not a real unicorn. Though then it wouldn’t have dreams or a soul…
I have over-thought this.
i c wat u did thar
NERDS!
Yes? You called for us?
No, he called for All-Caps NERDS
When are we getting Soylent raw?
Long pork is mighty tasty!
Woodhouse? Is that you?
Woodhouse… makes… the… best… barbeque…
The alt text was mean this time! :/
Eeeeww !
So, the guy on the left is Riker, but is there TNG character like that guy in yellow uniform?
Lt Barclay kinda looked like that, though he was only in a few episodes.
I immediately thought of Lt Barclay. Next, I felt very, very ashamed.
Because this means that we’re both MASSIVE nerds?
Hm, but his personality does not fit. He would never interrupt first officer like that, he is too shy for that 🙂
This probably happened so often, they just programmed the replicator to dispense chicken instead.
In space, everything tastes like chicken.
Not if you know what are you doing…
All you have to do is copy the transporter buffer (which scans a human whenever one beams out) into the replicator to get genuine long pork.

I take back any doubts I had about a 652nd comic. Brava.
They’ll never make it to 653
Is it still cannibalism if you eat something that could have been part of a human body, but wasn’t?
That depends, do you consider umbilical cords as something that “could have been part of a human”? If not, then I guess I’m not a cannibal…I guess I dodged a bullet there.
Did you ever lick your wounds, ate your nails, etc? if yes, you are a cannibal too.
Hmmm so you made #652…
HOWEVER! There is no possible way you can make it up to 653!
why is there bone, if he only asked for flesh?
The replicators went offline at that moment, so he had to get creative.
Bone adds flavor.
Shut up! That’s WHY!
The replicator was made in China.
(What! I’m not necessarily saying it’s low quality- just pointing out that deboning hasn’t caught on there. Either culinarily or sexually.)
Coincidence that this comic goes up the same day the leaked report of cannibalism in North Korea is confirmed…
Best. Star Trek. Cartoon. Ever!
mermaid flesh, unicorn, and ambrosia should all make you immortal

“Tea, Earl Gray, hot…”
The problem is Riker said the “ship’s synthesizers” not the “ships’s replicators”
Next, I’ll have a dragon steak!
Does that count as part of a raw foods diet?
I would totally do this first thing.

Who said HE is human…?
Brontosaurus ribs just like Fred use to get.
