How Does This Photo Make You Feel?

October 26, 2007

I recently attended the Food & Wine 2007 American Wine Awards. While there I tasted some great wine, and feasted on some tasty eats. The folks from Delfina were serving up tasty pork sandwiches, and as I waited for mine, I snapped this photo. I think it's delicious, but understand that others might not agree. So tell me, how does this photo make you feel?

Agree with lilegwene, it looks like it was burned alive in agony. I do eat meat but that's just crass.

I am actually more than disgusted. I am horrified, my jaw is hanging open...I am imagining what a human head looks like on a pretend piggy family table, like in some alternate universe, or something...and I feel the impact of the horror even more. It looks haunted, and has this aura of "if you could see what I have been through" and I don't even support PETA. OMG! I am turning into a bleeding heart!!

There are alot of vegetarians/vegans round these parts that are really judgey. Whew.Im not revolted, or disgusted. In fact, I love pork. I have no issue with people who will not drink dairy, or eat eggs or eat any kind of animal product. I have no issue with people who eat only chicken and fish and no other meat - whatever works best for you.I believe though that others shouldnt be judgy about folks who choose to eat meat.

Revolting. I'm not vegetarian, but I don't eat red meat or pork - only poultry and some seafood.

I'm a vegetarian, so it's gross to me...but hey, if people can look at this and eat it, more power to them. It bothers me more when people don't want to think about where their food comes from.

@ RandomMy first reaction was to think of Lord of the Flies too! Glad I'm not the only one. :)I eat pork but will probably not be able to now without that pic popping in to my head.

It makes my stomach turn.I was a veg for 15 years. I have just recently started back on the meat wagon and let me tell you it has been interesting. I can't cook it and if it had a face staring at me I wouldn't be able to eat it.

I personally wouldn’t eat it. However, I think it’s a good way to use all the body parts of the animal, since it’s already dead. For human, when someone dies, we just cremate or bury the body. We can’t do any good things for the world any more after we die. But for the pigs, hungry people can eat their meat, hungry dogs can eat their bones, and in this photo, some people uses the head as a table decoration (some people actually eat the heads and ears, which I don’t have a problem with that).Therefore, the pig didn’t die for nothing.

Makes me wanna snort! And just indifferent. I've seen those babies roasting many times.

I'd still eat it. It's like eating a fish with the head on...ok, I know, I know...pigs aren't like fishes...It's part of my culture to have pig roasts. I guess I'm used to it.

I don't eat pork, nor would I want to after seeing that!

This image is very common in Asian markets so it's not such a big deal to me.

I'm not a big animal lover and I eat meat, but the only food I can eat where the face is actually looking at me is a fish. I don't think I could eat this, truly.

Im very aware of where my food comes from but because I dont talk about it specially in this forum does not mean that I am ignorant about it. Im very aware and still choose to eat meat, like I said before we are biologically built to eat meat and plant matter. I understand and fully the support the morals behind being a vegetarian but will always be an omnivore. Now if that makes me a hypocrite then so be but I fully realize it. And yes I do love animals (I studied for awhile to be a zoologist)
