Sort of like that scene in “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe”
Have you ever seen depictions of food animals that seemingly are looking to be eaten? You know, the smiling chickens in fried chicken commercials, or the happy cows advertising steak. Oddly, this seems to be most common with pigs, depicting positive feelings about sausages, bacon, or pork chops (The Greatest Website of All’s adopted hometown-Tucson, Arizona, has its own version of this in the continuously smoke-billowing Pollo Feliz). Taken out of context, it’s a little terrifying. Taken to its logical conclusion, well, there’s that scene in Douglas Adams’ classic sci fi “trilogy”:
More prime, but unsettling examples, along with some pretty good commentary exist on Suicide Food. I think Michael Pollan would have a fit. Or maybe he’d think it was funny, he seems like he’d have a pretty good sense of humor.
