"If God didn't intend for us to eat people, then why did he make them out of meat?"
God doesn't explicitly forbid cannibalism anywhere in the Bible. We just have to find a way to define humans as ruminants with cloven hooves and it'll all be kosher.
Whether humans are kosher is actually debated in traditional Jewish sources: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/a/101466

No Rabbi approves of eating humans; it is more a technical debate about whether it is explicitly prohibited by the rules, versus "not strictly prohibited but ewwww... so don't do it"
