All-American meat

Photographer Dominic Episcopo and a huge slice of the rest of the U.S. is not about to let a little bad news about the not-so-healthy side of red meat stop them from celebrating all that is beefy in the national diet.

Episcopo explains his unique collection of Americana meat photos as follows:

MEAT AMERICA is a state of mind, an eye-opening and artery-closing tour of America’s spirit of entrepreneurship, rebellion and positivity.

MEAT AMERICA celebrates our appetite for insurmountable odds, limitless aspiration, and immeasurable success. Actually, just between us; it’s a way for us to combine a few of our favorite things. Meat. Quotes. Facts. Photography. And the indefinable adjective that is “American.”

Since we’d hate to imply that vegetarians aren’t as patriotic as their meat-eating brethren, feel free to forward links to patriotic veggie art.
