A Reminder of Where Your Meat Comes From
While Jane's mom was here we did a few "touristy" things. One of the things we hadn't done with her yet was to visit Farmer's Market. It's a tourist attraction that pulls them in by the busload, and where there are people, there is food. This is someplace to grab a bite to eat and people watch. So we went on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
One of the restaurants had this in their display. I'm left wondering who their target demographic is? You're not going to pull in any vegans or vegetarians by showing pig-shaped sausage meats, and most omnivores don't seem to really want to know where their meat comes from.

We're Growing By Leaps And BoundsI missed it... earlier this year, CNN ran a story about vegans. On June 11, 2008 CNN proclaimed that an estimated 10 million Americans have gone vegan. Wow. That would mean we make up a little over 3% of the total population. Woo hoo! ...

Kids sure would love the little piggies though. And, the case would be just at their eye level.
Yes, that would probably appeal to children, but not necessarily if you tell them that they are actually eating a pig.
Oh this is awful! Reminds me of something that should be posted on http://suicidefood.blogspot.com/
And oddly enough the recent posts on suicide food – are aimed at kids. Of course that’s where all the desensitizing begins. Animals want to be killed and eaten of course. Strange world.
Hi Bea,
Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing they blog about over there.
I agree, desensitization begins with children.
