What did god say about cannibalism, and blood drinking? There's a whole lot

of lore, but what about the bible? **Okay, this question is not for the easily nauseated, so please don't read this if you are sensitive.**

There is a whole lot of lore about both, especially when it comes to mythology, and using the christian crucifix to repel vampires n' stuff, but I'm a little shocked that christians have hung survivors of blizzards for eating the dead, and other such historic true occasions. There have been cases written of in which doctors prescribed blood drinking for severely anemic children, and were then killed along with some of the children, for evil, despite those children benefiting from the iron in the blood, and returning to relative health. Then there are cases of using body parts and blood for other means, and the church saying nothing about it. And then there's the poor burying the dead, only to let bugs eat the bodies.

**I'm not trying to gross anyone out, here. My sister is an archaeologist, and I'm a christian, so we team up to study a lot.**

Did god address this issue at all? If not, then why the hangings of people who had survived a terrible ordeal?
Who said anything about killing? These people were hung for eating the already dead.
And many have pointed out that eating the body of christ, and drinking the blood of christ is symbolic canibalism.
 
Well killing a person s wrong. That is obvious. But eating the flesh of the dead? I can only think of one thing off the top of my head. And that is that God okayed the eating as long as you give thanks for it (Mark 7:18,19; 1 Corinthians 10:30) But, as for blood, it is to be abstained from (Genesis 9:4; Acts 15:29).
