Finally you can satiate your hunger by eating Easy Pete.
Changes the equation for health and hunger regained from
25 + (Survival / 2)
At 100 Survival, you gain 75 health and hunger from cannibalism.
The Ghastly Scavenger perk does the same, but with 50 instead of 25 points.
Fun fact: the Cannibal perk works on children, with or without this mod. You'll need a killable kids mod though.
Completely safe to use: the only conflicts would be with other mods that edit said perk. No dirty edits in the esp.
