The rich preyed upon the poor have-nots at that time, financially. The cannibalism is a physical manifestation of that fact. We are given very straight forward portraits of the rich and the poor, and then the symbolism between them in cannibalism.

The richer they got, the crazier and twisted they became. Money is nothing to them..
