True, true. We'd be rehashing the same ground as Planet Kids in some ways.
I like your idea about the old and the infirm getting turned into food. That's something that the Atlantis expedition would find incredibly abhorent. And maybe the beef could be that the Lanteans are afraid that people are coerced or murdered or forced into becoming Fruity Oaty Bars--their position being that it would be impossible to have that kind of policy and not abuse it. Dad getting a little too annoying? Just off him. Political opponent proving a pain in the ass? Make him into a sandwich.
But Teyla sees it as a very loving sacrifice--something that's always chosen and never forced. Or maybe she's kinda grossed out by it too but she knows it's always voluntary and it makes good practical sense for this world that is very agriculturally poor and for some reason that we'll have to think of can't relocate. And this could still be Teyla being perturbed by Elizabeth's flexible morals. We'll be allies with the Genii but not these cannibals. LOL
