...this was buried at the time, the whole cannibalism thing put a damper on welcoming them...nobody wanted to talk about it...Uruguay was embarrassed.

Maybe in Uruguay, but not everywhere else. Like a previous poster, I read the book, Alive, written about it when I was 12-13. The event had just happened a few years before. The book felt like it celebrated their ability to survive. I still remember a lot about that book.
