Well, in storytelling, such concepts are avoided because they are morally repugnant and could have a negative impact on the audience, especially children. It's important to convey positive and protective messages regarding children.
The reason is simple. Stories should promote kindness and protect the innocence of children. Allowing actions like that would be disturbing and contrary to the purpose of storytelling, which is often to inspire and educate.
It could be a very strange or misinterpreted statement. Maybe 'can't help' implies being unable to resist something, but 'can't eat children' is a rather odd and obvious moral statement. It might be part of a very unique or dark fairy - tale or fictional concept where there is a temptation that one can't help but face, yet eating children is an absolute no - go in any normal context.
It could be a fable - like story set in a magical world. There could be a character who is starving and in a desperate situation but still realizes that eating children is not an option. The story could then be about their journey to find a proper solution to their hunger without crossing that moral line, perhaps teaching a lesson about perseverance and morality.
It could be a psychological thriller genre. The 'can't help' part could be related to a character's uncontrollable actions which are part of the mystery or suspense, and the 'can't eat' aspect could add to the psychological distress element that is often seen in this genre.
Well, for one, cats are often kept as pets and have a special place in people's hearts. Also, from a health perspective, there could be risks associated with consuming them. So, that's why one shouldn't in a short story or in real life.
It could mean that there is a story where someone is in a situation where they can't control themselves (can't help) and perhaps this is related to their inability to eat. Maybe it's a story about an emotional turmoil that affects one's appetite.
It could be a story about someone facing difficult situations where they are unable to offer assistance or obtain food. Maybe it's a tale of hardship and struggle.
Well, it could be that the blue candy causes some strange side effects or it's part of a dangerous plot in the comic. So, it's best to stay away from it.
That's a really strange and disturbing idea. I can't imagine a legitimate reason for such a recommendation in any story. It sounds like pure fiction gone wild!
Maybe the animals had their own reasons or were unable to assist. It could be that they were scared or simply not capable of providing the needed help.
Maybe it's because the plot or circumstances are so compelling that you're just drawn in and can't resist.
