How is this any more disgusting than that turkey carcass you're going to slobber all over? It's pretty much the same thing, dude.

It's just not the same without the misogyny.

You only object to meat when you can see where it's from? That looks INCREDIBLE. Mmm!

I prefer to believe that my food grows on saran-wrapped styrofoam carton trees, personally.

The giant carcass dish (besides being the centerpiece of a Cancer-awareness fundraiser) looks like a giant, upside down rat.

I think it IS a big rat. It looks like a nutria. They became a big problem in swampy areas of Louisianna, so they started hunting them. When they couldn't figure out what to do with all of the carcasses they started eating them.

I like meat as much as the next guy, but I am not crazy about the idea of eating giant field rats. I hear they taste like a cross between pork and (of course) chicken, though.

Naw, too big to be a coypu, and those front feet are definitely porcine, not rodent.

But regardless, it sure looks tasty, mmmm!

Yeah, if you've been to many house celebrations in Mexican families, roast pigs like this are extremely common.

I'm a vegetarian myself, but this display is all too common to irk me.

I'm with Wild Man Fisher. I think meat is murder (and the hog's face looks frozen in agony). It's sad, but you can't convince meat eaters hellbent on eating meat there's anything wrong with this picture. If something like this isn't enough for a pause, then what is? One can only try to set an example. Here's how I deal: I find out what's on the menu. When I'm told whole roasted butterflied pork, this kid stays at home.

Happy Thanksgiving Day, sloggers.

Butterflying animals is useful for many reasons.

See in Judy-ism this would NEVER happen. It's really shocking to see this. More people need to embrace Judy-ism and turn away from that which is unclean and cooked whole.

Ha ha! You give yourself away Jew! The stake for you! No one who truly acknowledges Our Lord Jesus Christ as the Messiah could possibly look on that roast piggy with anything but piqued appetite.

sargon is lampooning issur, im sure of it.

It's not nutria, it's a pig. It's whole roasted pig. This is not exactly very exotic in most parts of the world. Leave it to places like Seattle to faint when they see where meat actually comes from.

Frozen in agony? Bitch, please.

Oh Puhleeze, RW - you can find people like NapoleonXVI in pretty much EVERY major metropolitan area of the country. Considering that less than 2% of the U.S. population now lives on farms, it shouldn't be in the least bit surprising that most urbanites have little knowledge or understanding of the process that puts meat on their tables.

Just another lame attempt at blaming Seattle for anything negative.

If people like you had your way, the new City Slogan would be: "Seattle - If Clinton Didn't Do It, We Probably Did".
