Nope. That is not it.

The press is using the term "Cannibal" because it gets more attention.

There is a difference between an eater of human flesh as a life choice and someone who did it because of external influences.

The key to this case is that if the guy had already been a practitioner of cannibalism before getting tweaked, it would not have been as big a deal.... I find it to be a stronger statement of his condition under the drug if he WASN'T a cannibal, but the media knows how to get more people to pay attention in 10 seconds/words or less... better than I do.
