I think it's weird that the Whos down in Whoville and The Grinch are carnivores.
I do not think that the Whos are restricted by those same taboos.
(Gosh, she's cute. And possibly a cannibal.)
Yes, cannibalism.
WHO HASH CONTAINS WHOS. And it's commercially produced.
Now, take the Grinch - already an outlier by appearance. If the Who are willing to eat their own, what's stopping them from eating someone a little different? NOTHING.
The Grinch knew this. So he fled town.
And then "the Grinch himself even carved the roast beast" - that's a critical plot point. He is fully assimilated now.
But what happens the next time the Whos need to feast? Where do you think they will source their meat from?
You know as well as I do.
The Whos are gonna eat the Grinch.
No one forgives that easily.
They're willing to eat their own, so they're more than certainly willing to eat an outsider. Especially one who tried to ruin Christmas.
But honestly, all the pieces add up.
I wish that Seuss had made them all vegetarians.
