A couple of weeks ago, I started a personal experiment: go vegan, with a diet composed mostly of local produce and unprocessed whole foods. Partly out of curiosity, also to see what the health impact might be, and to explore what daily life is like when you're able to eliminate specific products produced by means you don't want to support. If it felt good (and it has), I'd planned to continue indefinitely.
Well, screw all that — I should have read this first. PDF Link to "BABY: Eat Healthy, Live Healthy." A contemporary take on Swift's "Modest Proposal," or perhaps the work of this dude.
And it appears the babetarian foods movement already has a mantra: Link to ytmnd.com feature, from which i snagged the image below. (Thanks, Damion!)

In your baby eating post, I can't believe you didn't include the brilliant take on Swift's "A Modest Proposal" that rapper $trick9 does. Video Link.

The sandwich you posted a picture of under the "Baby Meat facts pamphlet" post is more commonly known as a "California Cheeseburger," as coined by [Simpsons character] Chief Wiggum in the museum of crime: Link.
Wiggum: Now, what I am about to show you next may shock and educate you. Hold onto your values as we step through the looking glass into a hippie pot party.
[flicks a switch, lighting a mannequin with a joint crudely stuck to his mouth]
Wiggum: While Johnny Welfare plays acid rock on a stolen guitar, his old lady has a better idea.
[lights up another mannequin, of a woman opening wide to eat a baby sandwich. (That's a sandwich with a baby in it, not a really tiny sandwich.) The crowd gasps]
Wiggum: That's right, she's got the munchies for a California Cheeseburger.

Here is a totally inappropriate name for a restaurant in the Philippines: Link.

Maybe it’s serendipitous coincidence, but we just got back from the Chicago suburbs, only to see your story on baby meat. While out in the burbs, I snapped the attached picture. I never thought Naperville, Illinois would be so forward thinking!

Here's some evidence of baby-savoring that I recently came across in Beijing.
