More things to do with a Happy Meal


Corpor Esurit, or We All Deserve A Break Today  is a project by Brooklyn based artist Elizabeth Demaray that involves feeding a population of ants nothing but McDonald's Happy Meals for the duration of at least one month.
 
Commissioned by CEPA Gallery, this large-scale installation spans five exhibition rooms and showcases what may be the world's largest ant farm featuring a skyline of Buffalo for its tiny inhabitants to enjoy. 
 
They reportedly just mine the chicken out of McNuggets, leaving behind a breaded cave.

 
Says Demaray:
"I wondered—what sort of an impact is junk food having upon the vermin who must depend upon us for sustenance?"
