I don't know who would really feel confronted or upset (except maybe someone
who is starving) at this use of food.  Some might quibble over whether it is
art or not.  Geeks are most likely to say that it is a cool hack.

There's a story floating around.  It might be true.  A man hung a urinal on
the wall and called it art.  When Andy Warhol was at that show, he walked up
to the sculptur and pissed on it.

As to this piece, if someone takes photos and makes large prints from them,
I'd love to have one to hang.
