About Meatpaper
  At once divisive and universal, delicious and disturbing, funny and dead-serious, meat polarizes us unlike any other food.

Us, we’re ambidextrous here at Meatpaper — no agenda except to gnaw on the ideas, artistic excursions and bone-deep emotions the subject inspires. We invite you to dig in with us.
