Butchering a human is already upsetting for a good majority of colonists. So in a colony not filled with cannibals, eating it should only be for absolute emergencies, in extreme [[biome]]s like sea ice, or to please a cannibal on verge of [[mental break]]. For a cannibal, both the cooked cannibalism and raw cannibalism mood buffs stack, for a total of {{+|35}} mood. However, most cannibals still get {{--|7}} mood for eating raw food. You can further boost mood with [[fine meal]]s, [[lavish meal]]s, or their [[carnivore fine meal|carnivore]] [[carnivore lavish meal|variant]]s. Alternatively, the massive mood debuff might make human meat situationally useful. It may force a [[tortured artist]] into a mental break, or cause a [[Mental break#Crisis of Belief|Crisis of Belief]] in the [[Ideology DLC]]. As for [[Caravan]]s and Raiding, Human Meat is one of the most abundant food sources that can be acquired while on-site by butchering several of the corpses found from the pawns killed and in [[Gibbet cage]]s {{IdeologyIcon}}, cooking them into Meals for slower spoilage.

Using human meat for carnivorous animals (whenever raw or [[kibble]]) isn't cannibalism, so the animals won't mind. It may be wiser to leave corpses unbutchered, as the butchering itself has a fairly large penalty to both the butcher and the colony. Note that colonists in base game or with the [[Ideoligion#Corpses|Corpses ugly]]  precept {{IdeologyIcon}} will get {{--|4}} mood from observing them.

Note that colonists still don't like seeing corpses, so watch out for your haulers.
  
In the [[Ideology DLC]], a colony's [[ideoligion]] can make this a different story. With the Cannibalism meme and/or precept, [[raider]]s become a completely viable source of both food and positive moodlets. Setting the precept to Required (Ravenous) gives the greatest mood buffs, +6 per meal, but also gives a strong debuff when human meat isn't available. This is also possible in the base game, with a colony entirely composed of the cannibal trait. By adjusting the [[scenario]] ("Forced trait"), you can set all starting colonists, or every pawn in the game, to be cannibals.
