Suicide Food: "Any depiction of animals that act as though they wish to be consumed ... a bellwether of our decadent society."
Suicide Food tends to target hometown-looking barbecue joints featuring cartoon depictions of smiling pigs, dancing cows and chickens happily sweating it out over the roasting fire. Is this kind of Americana sick and twisted or just cute and funny? Or both?

reminds me of Douglas Adams's "The REstaurant at the End of the Universe". In there, there is a cow that is so overjoyed with living that she allows everyone to choose what part of her they liked, and she would kill herself. Her last words were, "oh don't worry, I'll be very humane." The reasoning is that it's better to eat something that wanted to be eaten than something that does not.
