More Thoughts on the Human Zoo

So, it turns out that someone actually already materialized Morris' "Human Zoo" theory and made a legit human zoo. The first link is to a poorly developed website for a zoo in Australia that appears to have done the human zoo as a fundraiser/reality television show. The second is a clip I found on YouTube where the Johannesburg Zoo had people dress up in endangered animal suits to draw attention to the issue of extinction.

As for what I'm going to contribute to the project - you guys know I'm pretty comfortable with food. I'd like to continue to look for interesting ideas and different approaches to the meal and the idea of experimentation. I'm really digging on Lococo's idea to mix things up as far as what we eat and when we eat it.
