Arby’s Creates A Meat Carrot Because Vegetarians Can’t Have All The Fun

Vegetarians have the Impossible Burger and Tofurkey. Now, it’s the meat-eaters turn to create food out of lies.

Arby’s has the meaty answer with the Marrot. The food item appears to be a big healthy vegetable. However, since Arby’s claims “We Have The Meats,” the carrot is made from turkey breast and flavored with dried carrot juice powder.

The best part, besides this becoming the very first “megetable,” is that the meat carrot packs the same nutritional value as an actual carrot. See how it’s done below.

Watch Foods Deflate, Then Inflate, Then Dance Around To Music

It’s probably best if you just go ahead and watch the 3d-animated, Still Life, by artist Mike Pelletier. Then, decide for yourself if it’s soothing, disturbing, or a bit of both.

Perhaps the video will even stir up new emotions… ones that didn’t exist before watching foods flop around to a synth soundtrack. Enjoy.

Fruit and vegetable garnishes have taken up space on our plate for decades. However, these edible carvings by Japanese artist, Gaku, shouldn’t be pushed aside, but rather stared at and admired for a few hours.

The intricate carvings, often geometrically-inspired, are done with a steady hand and X-acto blade. Check out more below and over at Instagram.

Deformed Mr. Potato Head Wants To Help Reduce Food Waste

wonky-potato-head

We all know Mr.Potato Head, with his perfectly-rounded noggin and an arsenal of plastic accessories. But, what if our favorite toy potato were malformed to help fit in with other unfortunate produce?

Hasbro recently teamed up with UK-based grocery chain, ASDA, to create a Wonky Mr. Potato Head. The intent… To help reduce food waste, by reminding grocery shoppers that produce that may not be pleasing to the eye, could be just as useful as their prettier counterparts.

The adorably-wonky Potato Head is available at auction, with proceeds going to charity. And, if you miss out on a deformed Mr. Potato Head, you can simply stick some eyes on those banged-up zucchini and tomatoes that nobody else wants.
