SEXUALIZING AND GENDERING FOOD


And I guess this cow is sexy because she’s got her tongue out and her butt turned toward the viewer:

Organic food is sexualized too:

I think this one creeps me out the most:

Connecting cars, masculinity, and meat:


These all come from Carol J. Adams’s website. She’s the author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory.There’s also this ad. And these images.

Pitseleh S. sent in this one:

Penny sent in this Dutch coffee ad, found here:

An ad I found for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter:

I found this ad for Skyy vodka the other day, which is similar to the Kenneth Cole ad above. It’s odd that an ad that uses the idea of being “natural” incorporates an image of a woman in a very, very unnatural foot position.

Blanca pointed me to Skinny Cow ice cream, which uses this sexualized image of a cow (who also has a measuring tape around her waist to emphasize that she’s skinny):

For reasons I cannot comprehend, there are Skinny Cow scrapbooking events.

Camilla P. sent us this commercial for Rustlers Burger (we think from England but we’re not sure). She says it was eventually pulled because of complaints (found here).

Mustard and ketchup are sexy (from Las Vegas Living):

If only women were noodles:

Are you hungry for some lovin’, er, lunchin’? Do you have an all-American appetite for chick(en)s? Or are you secretly ravenous for pig? We think we might have just the thing to satisfy your lust for breast, thigh, and rump:

(These ads were designed by a marketing firm in Thailand. Found via copyranter.)

NEW! Denia sent in this image of “Frankfurters” with sexy ladies on them. The text says “Undress me!” in Czech.

See also Hot Indian Chicken.

Finally, Teresa C. of Moment of Choice brought our attention to Lavazza coffee company’s 2009 calendar, shot by Annie Liebowitz (originally found in the Telegraph):

Thanks, Teresa!
