Meat art: The perfect advertisement for vegetarianism! (DiceFood.com)

Meat art: The perfect advertisement for vegetarianism!
food.com/media/2008/10/153410565_8e4c469058(2).jpg” alt=”" />Last night, caught in a fit of nostalgia, I re-watched David Cronenberg’s Videodrome. Basically the tale of a man’s psychotic attachment to his television, the movie features some of the most disturbingly meaty special effects I’ve ever seen, including a VCR built into a character’s abdomen, a gun made out of raw meat, and other grotesqueries that halve the distance between flesh and manufactured items. After the movie was over, I turned off the computer and went to bed, comfortable in the knowledge that the line between meat and machine is pretty clearly drawn and David Cronenberg is more or less insane.

Today, unfortunately, I happened to discover Meat After Meat Joy, a show that is currently on display at Daneyal Mahmood Gallery in New York City. Featuring art that is inspired by and often constructed from meat, the show is designed to “investigate the paradoxical relationship meat has to the body.” In the service of this goal, it has exhibits including meat-based sneakers, a cup and saucer constructed from bacon, and a Betty Hirst piece titled “American Flag” that is made from rotting, maggot-ridden animal products.

The most sexist food commercial of the year?

Filed under: Business, Baking, Fast Food

food.com/media/2008/10/hardees.jpg” />It’s old news that sexist stereotypes have long been used to sell everything from cigarettes to cars to chicken wings. But this new Hardee’s (the fast-food chain also called Carl’s Jr.) commercial, which I saw on prime time last night, is particularly sick-making.
