Magazine: November/December issue of Adbusters magazine ( " Appetite " )

No. 44

 

I don't to the magazine Adbusters, but I randomly picked up

the November/December issue and was astounded at its contents. The

issue is called " Appetite " and it delivers a powerful message about

junk/fast food, nutrition, animal rights, food as an environmental

issue, marketing, and so much more.

 

I am *thrilled* to see a mainstream (?) magazine featuring this topic

so prominantly. There are no ads in this magazine - it's a " Big Fat

Double Issue " devoted to the above topics.

 

Every page is a photograph that takes my breath away. There are

images in this magazine that made me bust out crying on BART. It's

incredibly moving (but nothing a quick surf through PETA.org won't

induce as well).

 

I'm writing to the editor in thanks and appreciation.

I love that magazine but they are hardly mainstream; more like a thorn in

the side of, the mainstream media. Check their editorial statement. And

for some historical perspective on their work, check their legendary

(infamous) Absolut ad series. Awesome and funny and sharp. They can be a

bit strident and naive, but their hearts are definitely in the right place.

If you liked Adbusters... you should check out the editor's book " Culture

Jam "
