German Sausage Lovers Can Pick Which Pig to Eat

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: German meat lovers can now buy packs of sausages with pictures of the pig that went into the sausage as part of an initiative aimed at changing the way people think of animals.

Consumers can even go to a website to look at pictures of the pigs, read the latest news on each sow and then vote for the animal they want to eat.

The winner gets converted into sausages and other meat products.

"I think man has lost touch with his food," said Dennis Buchman, the creator of the Meine Kleine Farm[,] My Little Farm in English[,] initiative.

"People eat a sausage like a carrot; without any thought about what goes into it." » | Matthew Day, Warsaw | Monday, February 27, 2012
