Meals
Raw meal
Raw food is used by colonists to survive, either directly when starving, or via the nutrient paste dispenser when available to eat meals. Raw food is extracted from plants, either wild plants when there no growing going on, potato plants grown in the growing zone, or accele-potato plants grown on a hydroponics table.

Human meat was introduced in Alpha two as an alternative foodsource. Both colonist and raider flesh can be prepared for all your carnivoristic cannibalistic needs. There is reason to belive that it has negative mindsters connected to cooking and consumption.
"Cannibalism causes bad thoughts" Source: [1] Heading: Changes/point 23
Human meat gives the "Cooked cannibalism" thought to the colonists that eat any kind of meal containing human meat, this thought subtracts(-) 15 from the happiness, but doesn't add anything to the fear meter, this also applies to nutrient paste containing any amount of human meet.
It can therefore make your colonists leave your colony if the colony is based on happiness, it's a average food if the colony is based on fear.
(Uncooked human meat still needs testing).
