Cannibalistically Algebraic (or, “Attempting to prove the humanity of cannibals”)

I have theorized that cannibals are technically the only humans that truly exist…and I have figured out a way to prove it using a simple algebraic equation and basic logic.

Firstly, we’ll let P be the variable for a type of person and x for the type of food someone predominantly eats.  And, of couse, as we all know, you are what you eat.  So P must be equal to x.  For example, I once knew a person who mainly eats pistachios, which are a type of nut (n).  So if P = n, we can conclude that that person is nuts.  Which is true, by the way.

Now, using the “Food Theorum”, as I call it, we can substitute P in for C (whch represents cannibals).  And since cannibals eat humans, we can sub in H for x.  Thusly, C = H, meaning that cannibals are humans.  Do any other people eat humans?  I don’t think so.
