Round, sirloin, short loin, rib, short plate, fore shank, chuck: a plea for vegetarianism.
I think when we become more aware of how we live we realize we can't just do it all the way we were used to.
I used to eat loads of meat. Loved it! But then came BSE and all the other diseases. Next I became more aware of bio industry (the word alone makes me sad and mad). Then I met some animals, not in the sense of saying hi but really being with them the way one meets with a dog or cat. Finally I got in touch with buddhism and meditation which made it even clearer for me that I mustn't eat dead animals.

i'm 16 and i've been vegetarian for a little over a year now. everything you've said is true, i think if more people would take accountability for their actions instead of eating and doing what their piers and parents do, they would want to make some changes.
cows, pigs, and chickens experience just as much pain and fear as dogs and cats, and how many americans are you going to find who would eat their ruff-ruff or meow-meow? not many. -

Powerful photo! It speaks volumes!
On a separate note: Aren't vegetables and plants alive and living too before we kill them and eat them? What if we figure out later on that they do comunicate in a different level then what we understand right now and that they do "cry" when chopped to become our salads? Just a thought. -
Lucy Lambriex said (10 Feb 2009):
Thanks all!
Yes Michael, you might be right about plants and communication. Until we find out that's the case I'd rather eat plants than animals of whom we know now they are intelligent and suffer in bio industry. But it does make one think. What to eat then? Stones? -

wonderful shot! excellent reminder of one of the biggest issues in the world right now- meat. i have to say, this shot is not only great for discussing vegetarianism.. but I also think there is a great connection between the meat industry and the Fetishization of women. The way we are looked at as meat. Accordingly, meat is also highly womanized in advertising (and the eating of it is specially encouraged for men). Awesome shot!

Stef LePape said (22 Jun 2010):
i perceived this from a whole different field.
But--that is what great art will do--
afford the viewer their own interpretation...in addition to the intentional.

a wonderful voice for the objectifying of woman. -
