A dinosaur shirt is probably the last place you would expect to find an amusing vegetarian theme. The simple black tee depicts the giant dinosaur holding a piece of broccoli and looking ashamed at his "insatiable craving... for GREENS!"

The hilarious tee is poking fun of the social stigma that many people have toward the [vegetarian lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-surfers-veggie-hunt). Placing the t-rex on the shirt instead of a human serves as a way to get a thought-provoking message across. The addition of humor is a great way to poke fun at the unfortunate hate that the lifestyle gets.

The dinosaur shirt is made out of [soft ringspun cotton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauce-proof-shirts) so it's both comfortable and durable. The dinosaur graphic can be had in both male and female fits so anyone can share the amusing message.
