WWF: Help Save the Planet by Eating Babies
Lots of crazy carnivorous proposals have been thrown around over the last year to promote a more climate-friendly form of meat-eating. Just off the top of my head, I can remember reading stories about the benefits of eating: venison, clones, whale blubber, rats, and kangaroo. Those are exactly the reasons why I think this ad from the World Wildlife Fund might be widely misinterpreted. In case you were confused, the WWF doesn't officially endorse cannibalism as a means of fighting climate change. Even if they did, I doubt they would put their support behind baby cannibalism -- because that's just messed up -- and a baby's carbon footprint isn't even very large. I think the idea they're trying to promote is that naked babies look cute with apples and citrus fruit. Then again, it could be about conserving natural resources too.
[Usually, I really like the WWF's style. It's just that straight-forward guiltvertising, with no real suggestions on how to stop "Consuming the Earth" just kinda rubs me the wrong way. They should have plugged their pocket guide to One Planet Lifestyle.]
