I'm glad to know that you will be fixing the spelling, grammar, etc. errors shortly. We don't have enough hard science and space creepypastas.

Humans would be a LOUSY food source. We breed far too slowly. Chickens are ready for market in under a month from hatching. Humans take more like 20 years. That's 20 years of us eating.

Dehydrated human has a lot of good fertilizer in it, but why go through the hassle of killing people, finding the bodies and then hauling them past billions of other systems when you could just such ammonia and nitrogen from Titan and make ammonia nitrate fertilizer? Plus we have a lot of water weight that's really a waste. Hydrogen and oxygen are the first and third most abundant elements in the galaxy. If you want water, look for it closer and in a neater form. If you want fertilizer, look for it in a closer and more convenient form.

If killing is the object then there is no need to profit from it.
