I'm catching up on Gundam: G Reconguista and they keep talking about Kuntala.
The brief discriptions so far were that they are lower class citizens and that
they used to be raised as food.

Cannibalism? For serious? Humans would make the worst stock. You'd have to
wait 16 years to get a decent amount of anything to eat. Cows mature in less
than 5 (2ish maybe?), and sheep and goats are fast to raise. And they eat
grass, which is usually everywhere.

I found a blurb on a [Gundam
wiki](http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Kuntala#cite_ref-1), and a [reddit
thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Gundam/comments/2lxba9/several_questions_about_kuntala_in_greco/)
asking similar questions, but not much for answers.

  * Why were people being raised as food?
  * If such a people were freed from bondage, how and why are they still second class citizens and discriminated against?
