Searching Ecomodder today for 'Scott Adams' returned no results. I had to search for threads started by me, which are relatively few.

Today Scott mentioned that the ROI on cannibalism is excellent, especially when you simply proclaim it as fact, and present no cost/benefit analysis.

When not spoken in an economics context, it's a catch-phrase meant to get people to "think past the sale". Why wouldn't you participate in cannibalism considering the ROI is so positive? It's a fantastic hedge against unprecedented cost increases for groceries.
