Note that this was a 1996 interview (10 years old) about research done before that.
220,000 kids? I don't think so!

Nope. There are not very many orphanages around. The bulk of those are run by various churches. The states prefer to use foster families instead of
orphanages.
They just go to every orphanage in the country and either take the kids before they get there, or tell the agency that the kids now have a
home (possibly even paying off some people).
You sound like you have never met anyone who's been adopted. I can tell you that it's just not as simple as wandering over to the pet store and
picking up a pet. You have to go through a background check and a lot of other things and there's more than one agency monitoring it.
The number of kids missing in any year is around 52,000 -- nonfamily abductions (abductions by friends, potential lovers, etc.)

The number of kids abducted each year by strangers is around 500.
The first rule in "Deny Ignorance" is "check for independant confirmation of the item... like news stories and statistics.
As to eating humans, that's ridiculous. It takes quite a few years to raise a human and that's a lot of food and resources. Why not just clone off
some cells and do laboratory raised meat? You could get a lot more, get it directly, no fuss, and no need for Truly Stupid Plans That Wouldn't Pass
Muster With A Monkey.
