It's no fair when a piece of art makes you hungry. If you're a vegetarian this painting is no doubt horrible, but we're a voracious meat eater although we feel guilty about it because animals are people too. We burnt our mouth on a piece of pizza the other day which is what happens when you don't eat meat, you burn your mouth on melted cheese although that doesn't happen if you're a vegan, because you can't burn your mouth on a stalk of celery. Our mouth still hurts. This painting is good. It's what you might call photorealism, which is a genre of painting we like. We're glad we didn't see this in a museum because you're not allowed to eat in museums, or smoke either, which is why we never darken the door of a museum, they're outposts of fascism. Stand back, don't lick the paintings, it's rule after rule after rule. Our mouth hurts so bad we even had trouble eating a Rice Krispie treat last night. And they're not even hot!
It's amazing to me that this is a painting. Very realistic. So real it's gross. But, then, I'm a vegetarian :) However, does raw meat really look delicious to carnivores? I don't remember feeling that way back in my carnivorous days.

It looks delicious to me. But maybe I'm not a representative carnivore.

'tis a sad, sad sight. How many more will have to die?
And as for your pizza incident, Mike: You pussy!

I admit it, I'm a pussy. But that pizza was hot, red hot! And the cheese stuck to the roof of my mouth! Something that never happens with common hamburger.

unless its a hamburger with the cheese cooked inside just like those crazy people in Minnesota make.
