The recent revelation by the blogger Quarrygirl that the Vegetarian magazine, VegNews, has been using stock photography of meat-filled food and passing it off as vegan has caused what the tabloids would call something of a furore in the online vegan community.
On her blog, Quarrygirl has clearly shown that Vegnews has been using photography from iStock’s back catalogue for many of its photos (see http://www.quarrygirl.com/2011/04/13/rant-veg-news-is-putting-the-meat-into-vegan-issues).
Quarrygirl illustrates numerous examples of this on her blog. Including photoshopping out the bones from a rack of ribs and using a picture of a beefburger.
