Dairy Father - Invites Sacrificial Cow to the Table

This provincial effigy, fashioned from 1,000 pounds of 100% butterfat, is meant to be a tribute to the dairy industry. I know my friend and ally Ben at Suicide Foods could do a much better job assessing the irony in this image... But honestly, I just can't help my myself...
Here we have the classic portrayal of female servitude... Slave serving slave so to speak, as we see the human mother extending the plate in the direction of the nonhuman mother... Almost as an offering of solidarity; Or at least in recognition of mutual circumstance. They know they've done their jobs well - breeding sons... Some for veal - Some to be raised as veal eaters. But when we see into the bovines eyes, can we not detect a ruefulness? Perhaps she wonders where her babies are? Three births and still, a childless life. Could she be longing for her herd mates - missing the gossip at the milking polar? Or maybe it's the florescent lights that bother her? Cow people enjoy the sun and sky that nature provides... She will no doubt see them on her next ride in the transport truck.
At that destination, she will continue her dutiful contributions in the "food chain"... McDonald's will encourage other human families to dine on her fluids and flesh - Her rank is secured on the dollar menu; And consuming her "souless" body will be presented as a practice as "wholesome" as this paradigm... Returning to the table of plenty... and of "thrift" - We see Father... pouring the wealth of white abundance! Things are looking good for him with the recent government bailouts! Whew! That was a close one! The reality of the market place almost had consequence! Oh Father Provider! Thank you for buttering the palms of the other men in power! Father may we never ask how much money/energy it costs to keep this chilled spectacle "alive". May we never wonder about the e-coli in the burger... Or the manure in the rivers... May we never question, or be "lactose" intolerant... Father, maker of all things with cholesterol and saturated fat - may we never doubt your archaic methods of domination and force... Long live the patriarchy! Or at least as long as it takes for this obscene, excessive, vulgar, iconic charade to melt into a greasy pool of rancid goo! There... I had my say - You know the rest... Go Vegan.

Needle-like object found in MEAT burger -

Needle-like object found in girl's cheeseburger

It was a hollow piece of metal, smaller than an inch. Health officials believe that it was a piece of a veterinary needle that must have got into the food chain at the meat packing plant in Ohio. "They may have vaccinated an animal, and its tip broke off on the animal and it was not removed, and made its way through slaughter and the grinding process," said Larry Ramdin, of the Reading Health Department.

Hmmmm... nothing like munching on "food" that has to be given drugs to stay "healthy" long enough to kill.

So now, we have chickens products with rubber (or foreign material), and ground up cow parts with hypodermic needles. This ought to be a genuine challenge to trace the origin of... being that a single hamburger can contain the "meat" from hundreds of different cows. Maybe some were even the pitiful gimpy dairy cows that HSUS disclosed at the Hallmark Slaughterhouse?

Short of investing in a metal detector to find what's in your "meat surprise" you might want to consider the healthier (and kinder) VEGAN alternative!
