Milton also points out:

“Since plant foods available in the dry and deforested early human environment had become less nutritious, meat was critical for weaned infants, said Milton. She explained that small infants could not have processed enough bulky plant material to get both nutrients for growth and energy for brain development.”

also: is the bacon tiara edible? it doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the article at all. if not, wouldnt that be the point of such an item in the first place? we already have inedible tiaras. this functionality would be the perfection of tiara technology.

(ps, my favorite instruction in the process was the running HEPA filter for an hour prior to removing safety gear: now that’s terrorism. the “safety” gear didn’t even consist of a real OSHA filter; its just a $0.50 face mask. “Boah, all that TG in yo’ lungs gonna bind that pul’inary protein togedda real good!”)

“Felt”, I’ll buy, on some level. Not so sure about “dreamed”. Happiness, fright, and curiousity I’ll also buy, on some level… but a bald statement like yours completely ignores what appears to be a vast difference in cognition and awareness between humans and other animals.

Besides which, so what? Do the deer’s feelings prevent the wolf from eating it? Why then should they prevent me from eating it?

The burger scarfing types on the other hand do not exactly seem pinnacles of intellectualism.

FYI: not vegetarian myself.

I just think if you’re going to eat meat dont delude yourself into thinking its anything other than it is.

That’s all.

Before the site got overloaded from boingers visiting, you could see their latest issue was largely about what you might call grim knitting – I particularly liked the “Tepes” toque, a really nicely made ear-flap hat decorated with the impaled bodies of Vlad’s foes.

Of course, it’s a personal choice…

Funny concept though, and a great way to get that padded room you’ve always dreamed of.

“What’cha makin’, honey?”

“It’s my new bacon tiara!”

“…”

If you’d ever had a dog or cat, you’d know that animals dream.

That was the point of #31′s comment, that it was an evolutionary adaptation to specific conditions.

Probably over 9000.

I went to a highschool grad (not my grad, but what would have been if I had stayed at that school) where one of my friends had dressed all in cabbage-y shades of green, and made a sort of tiara thing with those fake roses for your hair (or maybe for wedding cakes?), repainted into very convincing looking cabbages.

DRAGONFROG@38: Yes, it is knitted bacon, but if not witchcrafty, why the Beltane references and why talk about using said items to focus hateful energy? I think it might be both, actually. In their “Anti-festo” they espouse the site is about sinister crafting.

This from further down on the bacon of hate page:

“Use:
Write down the name of your cable company (or your landlord, or your boss, or your nemesis, or… well, you get the picture) and slip it in the pocket. Hang it in a window or other unobstructed area where loathing can easily radiate from your new Bacon Of Hate.”

Either way it’s still freakin’ hilarious. I don’t feel hatefulness when I see hanging bacon, knitted or not.
