meat spaghetti trick kids
You know how some parents resort to tricking their kids into eating certain foods when they're little? Try not to gag: "Meat scientists" have come up with a way to make meat into spaghetti to trick kids into eating meat. I thought seeing this picture was gross enough, but the video is definitely more disgusting.
Since many kids don't like eating meat, this product is being thought of as a "convenient yet healthy" food for families. Are you kidding me? This sounds like a product from that crazy Atkins diet craze a few years back. And wouldn't you love to know your parents tricked you into eating spaghetti made of cows and/or sheep?
We're all for "fake" products here at peta2—fakin' bacon and veggie burgers, for example. These products save animals' lives. Meat spaghetti, on the other hand, will not only cost more animals' lives—it's just downright revolting. Seriously, if you didn't check out the video yet, do so now.
Here's a radical concept: Why don't parents find other sources to give their kids protein? Hummus, bean burritos, and peanut butter sandwiches are all nutritious, delicious, and kid-friendly, so there's no need to sneak dead animals into kids' food.
Do you agree that "meat spaghetti" is disgusting?

Posted by: joy at August 18, 2008 5:25 PMWow! Thats truely Discusting! If my parents ever tried that to me, i dunno what i would do to them!!!!! I can't believe that people would consider doing that! SHAMEFULL !
Posted by: Natalie O'Brien at August 18, 2008 5:39 PMThats NASTY! Good thing I have great sense of taste and smell, I'll prolly be able to smell the blood in that "spaghetti" when it's still inside the shopping bag lol.
Posted by: Eric at August 18, 2008 6:26 PMIts dispicable that any parent(s) would even think of doing that to their veg*n son or daughter. That's no different than trying to sneak pork onto the plate of a Jew or Muslim...
Posted by: Eric at August 18, 2008 6:30 PMUmm, eww?
That's just...eww.
I thought this was gunna be about meat sauce on spaghetti, but, uh, no.

Posted by: michelle K at August 18, 2008 6:39 PMI totally agree! I didnt think anything was more sicking then pork chops or bacon but then some so called "scientist" came up with this! You can slice it dice it and shape into noodles but its still murder

Posted by: nichole at August 18, 2008 8:03 PMSo let's see not only is it disgusting meat thrown into noodle type things, but it is used to TRICK the children. What is the meat industry so worried about losing costumers? That's of course as usual very fair. (sarcasm) Thats horrid! >:[
Posted by: Shelby :] at August 18, 2008 8:36 PMthat is so disgusting! why would anyone want to eat that?!
Posted by: Cara at August 18, 2008 8:55 PMomg that is just wrong
Posted by: Cara at August 18, 2008 8:57 PMWTF?!?!?! there crazy eww dude when it squirts all out it looks like pus from the inside of a infected pimple!!! what kind of kid would eat tht just LOOKING at it!?!?
Posted by: Tiffany at August 18, 2008 9:01 PMThat is so gross.
Just looking at it makes me want to gag.
It's naive that parents believe the only way to get kids protein/have them be healthy is to sneak meat into their meals, and it's deceiving as well. What, are you just going to let them believe in Santa until they're eighteen?
Posted by: Stevie at August 19, 2008 3:42 AMEw...that's gross. I remember when I was little I would NOT eat lamb, because I thought it was cruel enough to eat a full grown animal (my parents forced me because I barely ate) but to eat a baby one was worse. But then my friend' mum gave me a kebab with lamb in it, telling me it was beef! I wouldn't trust her after that...
Posted by: Natasha at August 19, 2008 4:00 AMI definitely agree!
As a fussy child, my parents would often try and trick me into eating food but I always managed to outsmart them!
If I'm ever a parent I will tell my children exactly what they're eating. I'm a teacher and I've met 9 year old children who had no idea that a chicken nugget contained dead animal flesh!
Posted by: Little_Lotte at August 19, 2008 6:01 AMThey're so stupid, they're poisoning their kids and don't understand that!
Posted by: Monika at August 19, 2008 6:09 AMEw. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew.
Posted by: Carlie at August 19, 2008 6:34 AMThats puke inducing
Posted by: Madhvi at August 19, 2008 9:35 AMWow, that is truely disgusting..
Posted by: Emma at August 19, 2008 8:09 PMUGH!!

BARF!!
guhh.....i thought this was going to be about meat sauce on pasta......as did mallory. mega eww.
Posted by: melissa at August 20, 2008 1:52 AMBleh, that's truely sickening!
SO what if kids don't wanna eat meat, it's GROSS!!! They obviously see it the same way we vegs do! Wtf is wrong with the world these days?
Uuuuuughhh. Seeing the kid eating it the little bits of it falling out of his mouth makes me gag. Actually, the color of the pasta looks like the color of vomit. Voila. That is just too gross. Why do parents force their kids to eat meat anyway? Because it's supposedly healthy? It's the 21st century, and we're learning more about food than ever. C'mon people!
Posted by: Zilly at August 20, 2008 4:30 PMAny parents who give there children that should be charged with child endangerment, I think that that is the nasty thing I have ever saw. But what came we expect its from New Zealand
Posted by: Trey at August 20, 2008 10:35 PMew who ever tries to trick their vegetarian kid into eating that is really and truly a cruel parent. plus it doesnt even look like pasta it looks like my cat's vomit
Posted by: Taylor at August 21, 2008 2:55 AMBecause propaganda is no longer enough, they are resorting to straight up deception. Ridiculous.
Posted by: Vinny at August 22, 2008 1:24 PMThats revolting. The thought of even eating dead things makes me want to puke alone... but that actually did make me puke, for real.
