I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a lot of kids whose meat consumption consists entirely of processed versions, like burgers, bacon, and nuggets, who never really made the connection. I personally know a woman who got to her 20’s without ever realizing that the “chicken” part of the patty she ate in sandwiches was the same as the bird. Personally, I like that this restaurant’s sign makes the connection; I think if people more frequently confronted the sources of the meat they ate, they would eat less of it.

This sign used to be on the Chicago Southside until recently. The neon sign of “Sausage by Rosario” showed animation of the pig leaping into the grinder. I’m sure @chgoliz knew the place. It closed in 2016 and the sign came down in 2019 I think.
Ooh, BoingBoing did an article on it once!

I’ve driven through Oak Lawn, but it’s not a place I’ve spent any time, so I never knew the place, sorry.
The real loss on the south side of Chicago was when Moo & Oink closed. It’s a dollar store now, which just adds insult to injury.
The photo at the top of this article was from our local store, but they had a number of locations:

Thank you. I now have to add this film to my ‘to be seen’ list.
