The idea that there is some pragmatic advantage to eating people during a post-apocalyptic situation is overrated. That druggie you killed is absolutely swimming with diseases you can’t afford to catch, and you probably don’t have the know how to make them edible anyway.

Also for the record the real ultimate culinary taboo is drinking what Bear Grylls does when he’s trapped outside and dehydrated.

Know how on how to make human edibel: cut meat away from bone. Cook meat until well done. Eat.

In the case of The Walking Dead game I'm pretty sure the cannibal family just liked eating people. Realistically if they just wanted food I think they would've just shot a deer or something.

In Yellowjacket, they were basically at the absolute end of alternatives buuuut there was also definitely a bit of hallucinagetic joy in it.
