member Chris Link of Norfolk, Va., top, adjusts the cellophane
covering on the costume of demonstrator Dezeray Rubinchik of
Philadelphia, top right, during a protest in front of the
Statehouse, in Providence, R.I. The protest, in which three people
placed themselves in containers resembling supermarket meat trays,
was meant to compare eating meat with cannibalism. PETA member

how about that fuzzy philosopher Rev. Chris Korda? In "Dines
For Our Sins" writer David Grad, quotes Korda as saying: "We get menus, recipes, and recently even received some
very detailed instructions on how to butcher the
human carcass, with
pictures and everything. It was quite extraordinary. We have also
received letters from people who have allegedly engaged in these
actions." And, "To give a perfectly
concrete example," she says, "we have 60,000 auto-accident
fatalities a year. This is a total waste. That meat is getting
buried in the ground. We're lucky if we get a couple of organs out
of the deal. It should go straight to McDonald's, where the food is
already so processed I don't think anybody would notice the
difference. It would be an excellent test case. It's no more obscene
than people taking the flesh of other larger mammals directly into
their bodies."
