Out of context, the food looks like food. A part from the body I wouldn't eat even if it was from an animal, but food none the less. I think the 'gross part' is when people know it's human. I guess it depends on how you think and react to strange things (maybe even your morals?) which probably shape the extreme reactions.
Yeah, the human aspect is why I'm not grossed out by it specifically because it was something he 'willingly' did. If I knew there were humans somewhere being tortured and castrated for their male bits without their consent, THEN I would be grossed out.
It's weird how the human mind works. Somehow, I am not grossed out or offended by animals that are slaughtered for food, but my opinion on humans and food is very delicate...
