HEATHER SCOTT, (R) IDAHO: So what that language does is capture. . . [human remains are] getting into the food sources. That's really my concern.

Conviction on a cannibalism charge is punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

The way our society is going and the direction we're going, this is going to be normalized.  There's only one state in the union that cannibalism is illegal and that is Idaho.  It's already illegal for someone to do it to themselves but it is not illegal for them to give it to somebody unknowingly [like in the food supply?]  So what that language does is capture. . . it's getting into the food sources.  That's really my concern. 

In other states, laws target abuse or desecration of a corpose, according to Cornell Law School. 

The Representative giving testimony is Heather Scott from Blanchard, Idaho.
