2. Mod Description
***********************************************************
The cannibal perk is rather useless especially at high levels.
Dine and Dash is even more useless since it plays an eating
animation yet does nothing but take a low quality piece of food.
This mod makes some simple changes to make cannibalism more
useful. Below are the details vs the originals.

+5 Health per second for 10 seconds (Total +50 hp)

3. Version History
**************************************************************
- Removed the karma reductions.
- Fixed a bug introduced in 1. 03 that allowed you to Dine and
Dash on corpses you'd already used Dine and Dash on.
- Updated the random dismember script to check limb condition.
It should now reroll the random dismemberment until it gets a
limb not already removed.
- Dine and Dash now dismembers all limbs to signify your
harvesting alot of meat.
- Devour now gives +10 Rads up from +5.
- Human Remains now give the default 45 hunger when eaten as
well as +3 rads.
- Completely redesigned the mod.
- Made the plugin.
