Free Range Humans

Disturbing Pro-Vegan Ads

Here is a marketing idea I hope NEVER becomes a popular trend.

If there ever was a picture worth a thousand words, this could be it. I was mortified when I saw it, and for the record, I'm not a vegetarian.

The "Free Range Whole Human" was packaged in plastic wrap, in the posture of a Thanksgiving turkey.

The image is truly disgusting, and probably the reason why I'm sharing it.

Now for the worst part: you just know they could have made the picture even worse.

Check out these ads by PETA that were based on the same concept:

Veganism
The growing trend of adopting a plant-based diet and lifestyle for ethical, health, and environmental reasons.
Sustainable Packaging
