PETA’s packing a willy important message for all viewers of Foodtopia, the raunchy Sausage Party “micro series” spin-off that just dropped on Prime Video. It’s not the first time we’ve aimed to get a rise out of meat-eating men—but this provocative new ad might cause a full-blown insurerection.
Meat-Eating Men May Suffer From ‘Flaccid’ Reflux
Dysfunction makes for great TV, but nobody wants it in the bedroom. Meat, eggs, and dairy are high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which clogs up the arteries and slows the blood flow to all organs—including the one down there. And while eating meat might make an afternoon delight more of an afternoon disappointment, virility isn’t the only thing to worry about. Consuming animal-based foods is also linked to numerous other health problems, including cancer, heart disease, and strokes.
Every Sausage Was Someone
Sausage Party had many viewers’ stomachs turning with scenes of anthropic foods getting chopped and boiled alive—but animals who are killed for their flesh endure similar real-life horrors every day. In the pork industry, workers chop pigs’ tails off, clip their teeth, and castrate males—all without pain relief.
Pigs are curious, sensitive animals who naturally form complex social structures—but on farms (even self-proclaimed “humane” farms), they spend their lives in filthy, severely crowded pens where they can’t bathe in the mud or bask in the sun. At slaughterhouses, workers stun pigs before dunking them into tanks of boiling-hot water. However, because of improper stunning, many pigs are still alive when they reach these tanks.
