Point is it's not actually considered so distasteful, just illegal

Cannibalism actually is NOT illegal in most jurisdictions 😬

It's just really horrific & unthinkable so most people tend to self- regulate by simply having no desire or inclination to eat other people.

And perhaps one reason most places haven't even bothered to criminalize cannibalism is that murder and tampering with dead body etc are already illegal, so Dahmer-types would already be charged with those crimes.
