If anybody would like to read the original To Serve Man story, it was published in the November 1950 Galaxy science fiction magazine. The author was Damon Knight.
That issue is available for free download in a multitude of different formats at Archive.org. There are also stories by Isaac Asimov, Clifford D. Simac, Anthony Boucher and Fritz Leiber in the same issue.
All of the Galaxy magazines are available for free download here.
Better reading for your morals and sanity than Uncommon Descent.
P.S. That story is famous partly because it was on a sixties television show. Was it on The Twilight Zone?
