Well, what do we have here? An ad for **Keimling** [vegetarian restaurant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quorn-mission-snack-swap-campaign) that basically tells you to stop eating animals because you're essentially eating crap! A bit extreme, wouldn't you say?

Both the concept and illustration are by Dian Warsosumarto for Jung von Matt/Donau ad agency in Vienna, Austria. They show a man with his mouth wide open and out of the mouth is a collage of animals eating other animals, ending in a bird eating a fly next to a [pile of excrement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pick-up-your-poop)... and we all know the loving relation flies have with excrement. Oh crap!

I am not sure who would have an appetite for anything, vegetarian or non, after seeing that ad. We have creative directors Andreas Putz & Volkmar Weiss, and art director Volkmar Weiss to thank for curbing our appetite...
