A Voice from the Mountains

I continue to be amazed.
This isn't even a news article. It's a website with a freaking menu. Human meat "from the young and healthy."
They keep their location private and request that anyone interested go through a vetting process first, so as to "avoid disruption from the less enlightened."
Yeah, that's the reason, I'm sure. Just like they are vague about where they are getting the bodies that they are cooking and serving to people, they don't want random people showing up to check what they're doing either.
Here's their FAQ page:
What does human flesh taste like?
When prepared by us, unbelievable. Of the meats you are likely to find in stores, pork is the closest match.
Where do you get your specialty meat?
Our avenues of procurement vary. Most of the businesses and institutions who supply us prefer to keep those relationships discreet. On the individual level, bodies are often bequeathed to us. For some, this is a way to supplement life insurance and offset funerary expenses. For others, such as Cannibal Club member Gwendoline Fenwich, who was served to her friends and relatives at the Club in January of 2008, being prepared as a meal, and thereby reborn into the bodies of the living, is an attractive alternative to the more the traditional practices of burial and cremation.
We take considerable care to ensure that all our meat is produced legally and ethically, and derived only from young, healthy bodies.
Isn't cannibalism wrong?
Cannibalism, as traditionally practiced, usually shows respect to the deceased, who is desired to be reborn into the living, or offered as a worthy sacrifice to some deity. It is never our practice to debase or objectify human life. Arguments against cannibalism are typically grounded in ignorance, cultural prejudice, and nonsensical spiritual beliefs.
Doesn't cannibalism cause disease?
Prion diseases of the nervous system, such as kuru, are associated with the consumption of brain tissue, which is not part of our menu.
What is your address? I want to visit!

And if you aren't sick enough yet, how about their menu?
Collaborating with visiting cooks from around the world,
Chef de Cuisine Sophie Laffite regularly updates our menu with new and daring culinary experiments. The meat we serve is selected from the young and healthy. Consistent with the practice of cannibalism in many primitive societies, we view anthropophagy as homage to the dead, who are reborn into the bodies of their consumers. Each dish, therefore, is a study in taste and elegance.
This week’s menu includes:
Penne Pasta with Meat Sauce
A delicious meat sauce made from fresh heirloom tomatoes, served over multigrain penne noodles.
Sirloin Steak
A flame-broiled 8oz sirloin steak seasoned with fresh garlic, sautéed onions, and our in-house Worcestershire sauce.
Liver and Mushroom Pirozhi
A Russian version of pierogies, baked rather than boiled, with a savory filling of wild mushrooms and liver.
Placenta Lasagna
An otherwise traditional lasagna with one layer of cheese substituted by minced placenta in heirloom tomato sauce, seasoned with garlic, onion and oregano.
Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies
A delectable pot pie in a genuine puff pastry crust with locally-grown vegetables and tender strips of meat.

Since they don't state directly where they are located, I was going to make 3 guesses: Los Angeles, New York, or Washington DC.
I looked on their staff page and learned that, sure enough, my first guess was correct: they are based in Los Angeles, California.
What in the actual hell is wrong with that state?
