Right now human meat almost exclusively is a troll item. There is no benefit in eating it by choice; any attempt at a "cannibal playstyle" loses it's appeal once the laughter gets so frequent it immediately scares away any possible victims and gets on your nerves terrible quickly.

Even worse - being fed it involuntary almost always results in a death sentence for the character, because of the annoying consequences.

While this is a good and nice way for godless bandits to handle their captives, right now it's very easy for anyone to grab human steak and just force-feed anyone he meets from behind through the back of their heads without them being any wiser.

A re-work could be as easy as follows:

• Add a script like that of the Unknown Food Can to give every Human Steak the possibility to be carrying the disease. In real life the consumption of the brain has the most risk of getting afflicted by the disease.

• Add stages to Kuru, tied to the amount of (disease carrying) human meat consumed, needing a considerable amount for first symptoms to appear. This would have the effect that people being force-fed with it have a higher chance of noticing and doing something against it (which would be nothing but realistic) but also makes it feasible to get through an emergency situation while not also being an eventual death sentence for your character.
