Summary
Farmer To Fork
Cannibalism has a deeply unsettling history across various cultures and time periods, from the desperation of the Donner party in 1846, to a man in 2018 who killed and ate parts of a farmer, and used the remains to create artwork.

| 1:37.3 | burned the remains and used the victim's blood and ashes to create a piece of art. And here's the really shocking part. |

| 2:11.3 | patrons of the arts because they seemed unwilling to buy any part of that story. Hernandez was arrested by agents from Venezuela's |
