The boys in Lord of the Flies do not eat each other. There is no mention of canabalism in the book at all. The boys eat fruit, fish, crabs and the meat of pigs. During the attack on Simon, which led to his death, there is the mention of him being bit, and I quote, "There were no Words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws." This simply emphasises the savagery and ferocity of the boys attack but they were biting Simon, not eating him.
