These laser etched lunches will surely turn you into a vegetarian. The processed lunch box meat has images of the animals of which the meat came from, making you well aware of the brutality involved.
The images are etched on via a laser cutter, making you think twice before stuffing the processed meat into your mouth.
Implications - Lunch meats are a popular purchase for moms and dads who slap together their children's lunches in a hurry, but where does their meal come from? Literal food -- food that takes on the form of what it is made from -- is an educational and slightly disturbing way of familiarizing yourself with where your food comes from.
