Insect meat and human meat can typically be acquired in large quantities, where the "wasted" food from making lavish meals does not matter. Insect meat only gives −3 mood when cooked, for a net +9 mood buff for any colonist. Human meat usually gives −15 mood (plus −6 for several days for butchering), but those with the Cannibal trait will be incredibly pleased, for a net mood of +27.
