My Foodprint

There has been some talk recently about a new brand of vitamin-like water to come out, much like all the others at your local grocery store, except this one would have meat in it. Yes, meat. The item is called Meatwater by no stretch of the marketing imagination and it even has a Web site set up which boasts of its release on May 1. The only problem is it hasn’t been released and the whole thing stinks of consumerist mockery meant to seduce those who will pay attention. Many bloggers have already pointed out that the whole thing is a hoax and is the work of an artists named Till Krautkramer. Needless to say the list of flavors is hilarious: Beef Jerky, Hungarian Goulash, Peking Duck, and many more. It is all too reminiscent however of the idea my friends and I had years ago, meat flavored cereals. That’s right, it’s only a matter of time before Count Porkula is lining shelves.
