American Appetites

 is a series of stranger sidemissions in Red Dead Redemption.

Part 1
As you cruise through the town of Armadillo, you see a middle-aged lady in her plain dress, in tears. As you approach her, she panics and cries to you about how the sick rustlers have taken her son and the useless sheriff couldn't do anything about it. You decide to be a hero and tell her you will find her son.

She will tell you where the rustlers are. It will appear on your map, to make it more obvious, use the filter option, only turn on the stranger missions. There will be a highlighted purple circle on your map.

Make your way there. when you approach the highlighted area, you will find a puddle of blood, bones and a shoe lying on the ground.

Part 2
After a while, go back to Armadillo and you will a see man in the sheriff's office with a similar story. Go to the higlighted spot on the map and you will find that the man's wife has met the same fate.

Part 3
Once again, go back to Armadillo after some time has elapsed and you will find another woman that has the very same problem, her husband has gone missing, and with a child on the way, she doesn't know what to do.

Go to the higlighted spot on the map and this time you will find a man who said he was injured by some city man. He tells you to go after the guy, hogtie with your Lasso and bring him back. Get the man, bring him back, and set him down near the injured man. As it turns out, the "assailant" was actually innocent, and was about to become the next victim of a cannibal, apparently just as the woman's boy and the young man's wife. You are now presented with 3 choices: let the cannibal eat, kill the cannibal and free the victim, or kill them both and walk away. The choice is yours.

Killing the cannibal and saving the victim gives you +100 in honor and +50 in fame.

Do also note that if you kill the cannibal before triggering the cutscene with him, you fail the mission.
