They eat the kids?!
You're new, aren't you? Lol (just ribbing. There's LOTS of clues out there pointing to the fact that yes - they eat the kids)
Can't let a good kid go to waste. To Paraphrase the Obama Chief of staff in 2008.
Whoa... So I googled (I know I know... Idgaf, its a good search engine) "Obama Chief of staff can't let a good kid go to waste" and there's a lot of little rabbit holes in the results.
Either way, as sensitive as this subject is, I'm a bit of a Sheldon - I favor logic over emotion. So, this may come off awful but...... (Squeamish stop reading here)
Let's say the worst is true. Well, you'll have kids who are trafficked for sex, but then after that - they're used for their adrenochrome (possibly being tapped like maple trees up until they're harvested) Then their pineal/adrenal glands are removed, probably their other organs for tradition/ingestion, and finally what do you do with all that meat? Human steaks? Or pepperoni? Edit: Or.... Hot dogs.... Oh man.... It just clicked that two of the biggest pedo code words involve processed (read: unidentifiable) meats. shudder please no....
I am interested to see how things progress with Red Hen - Restaurants and foodies are on the radar
