A lot of people are uncomfortable eating meat that looks like part of an animal, so pre-packaged and process meats are popular. This lunch meat, however, must be one of more disturbing things to ever have been featured in the deli meat section of a grocery store. The problem isn't that it is 80% pork with coloring added to it, but that the coloring is added to make it look like a clown face. It is clearly intended to be appealing to children, it actually explains why some children are afraid of clowns. After all, if you discovered a face in your sandwich when you were in kindergarten, you would be traumatized, too. This meat might also be a factor in why some children become vegetarians.
At least soylent green didn't look like people.

With all the disturbing things, such as wars and terrible crimes, this is really something cute to take our minds away from the stress and sadness of living in todays world of hurt and pain. Children would love this also. Great idea, way to go.

So i don't see the big deal with the faces, they sell them in bear form too in Germany as well as having animals on it. I do realize this is america but its no different than people dressing up foods (like cupcakes for example) over here. It looks fun and taste great
