In Space, No One Can Hear Your Dinner Scream by W.C.

With humans making multigenerational voyages across the cosmos, no resources can be wasted in the self-contained environment of vessels which make the trip. Therefore, 20 to 30 percent of the mass of a person who has expired (of natural causes, of course) will be prepared for immediate consumption, most likely in some processed food product. Of the remaining, what isn't used for medical research will be composted, thereby helping guarantee the success of fellow pioneers in multiple ways.

Steven, by way of an explanation, let me just say I took one of Yanny's statements in the Challenge description, that the subject ". . .can include anything you want but has to give the spectator a different era feel," and I ran with it. I think that futuristic ideas often focus on gadgets and technology. In contrast, I tried to think of a futuristic societal change that might push the boundaries of modern day mores and taboos.

But how to take a picture of that? I opted for a metaphorical image rather than a literal one, my hope being that it might cause the spectator to wonder what future societies will be like, thereby having a future-era "feel."

Well, that was what I was aiming for anyway. Maybe I succeeded and maybe I didn't. At any rate, I thought it was worth a try. :-)
