Personally I dislike the images and do consider that they represent a viewpoint rather than a documentary. That might be said about a great deal of photographic work. The very fact that people are reacting with considerable feeling/emotions just proves exactly what Montie has said in his first post "Reminded again of the awesome power potential of the still image to evoke emotion, thought, and sometimes action" For me that is what the post was about rather than whether the content was accurate or people's individual views on being omnivores etc. That is not in any way meant to cahllenge those views nor comment on them.
