anthropophagist

The want of food became so urgent, that flesh was torn from dead human bodies; children were strangled by their parents, for the purpose of feasting on their flesh; and bands of express anthropophagists traversed the whole country.

The anthropophagists were out to celebrate life. They rejected the oppressive theories of Freud and advocated a reality "sem complexos, sem loucura, sem prostituições" ("Manifesto antropófago", Revista de Antopofagia, I) ["without complexes, without madness, without prostitutions"].
