In Videos: Estonian Meat Commercial (1980s)

The Estonian meat industry of the 1980s entices you to indulge in bounteous quantities of ground chicken by chanting, "Kana, kana, kana, hakkliha" ("Chicken, chicken, chicken minced meat") alongside nightmare-inducing clips of ground chicken slowly flowing out of a meat grinder and women eating deep-fried ground chicken lumps. After the jump, prepare to have your salivary glands tingle with unease.... More

Intercollegiate Meat Judging: Determining the Meat Experts of the Future

Intercollegiate Meat Judging: Determining the Meat Experts of the Future

It's not as popular as football, but it's just as competitive—the Wall Street Journal profiles the 82 year-old world of intercollegiate meat judging. This year, about 40 colleges will compete in six competitions, leading up to a final competition in November in Dakota City, Nebraska. What do students do at these competitions? They "spend most of a day staring at whole and dismembered carcasses. They score meat quality, leanness and butchering technique in detail; then, meat experts grade their work." [via MetaFilter]...

'Dressing the Meat of Tomorrow' at the Museum of Modern Art

Dressing the Meat of Tomorrow, James King On display as part of the Museum of Modern Art's Design and the Plastic Mind exhibit is a piece by James King called "Dressing the Meat of Tomorrow." This exhibit explores the technique that allows edible meat to be grown in a laboratory from sample cells. King discusses the process and what this meat might look and taste like: "A mobile magnetic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit scours the countryside looking for the most beautiful examples of livestock.

If We Eat Less Meat, Can We Save the Planet and Ourselves?

Mark Bittman had a remarkable piece in the New York Times yesterday about the true costs associated with all the meat we consume.

Bittman's story even gave a passionate, enthusiastic carnivore like me pause, and that's saying something. Bittman makes a compelling case for eating less meat, which of course people like Michael Pollan have been advocating for some time now. I've been eating less meat on my diet, and I must admit I feel better. I don't miss the meat "hangover" that I used to get after polishing... More

Snapshots from Asia: Bak Kwa, Chinese Pig Candy

Like when a friend returned to the States from a trip home to Singapore, toting three pounds of bak kwa (Chinese barbeque pork). Stopped at customs and threatened with confiscation and destruction, he said, "I need a minute," before proceeding to eat his entire booty of pig.... More
