« MEAT IS STILL MURDER | Main | darjeeling update june 6 »

Now that I'm thinking about it... Why did humans ever decide to cultivate animal products rather using human byproducts for things? Isn't it just as logical to use hoofs to make gelatin and soup stocks as it would be to use fingernails? Why don't we figure out some way to use all that hair we shave, wax, and trim to make fabric?

While I was flossing leftover slow food from my teeth just now, I had all these crazy thoughts for vegan art installations and performances. I hesitate to Google this for fear I will find things far more unsettling than I myself can imagine (ugh... as I did when I Googled "menstrual art". Let's just say depicting a tampon, which I thought was radical, was the tip of the bloody iceberg.) A dinner made entirely from human byproducts that we naturally create. A calf cozy made entirely of omnivores' meat-studded dental floss for calves who have recently been separated from their artificially inseminated mothers. Performance artists self-testing new cosmetics on themselves...

I see PETA has anticipated me.
