For those days when a t-shirt is simply not enough.

It’s been a slow blog week, dear readers, but I swear we have a good excuse. We were recovering from another fun year at Bonnaroo, where Jack White and Neutral Milk Hotel rocked my socks off. And while, sadly, the primitive skills guy was not there this year to impart his wisdom on mystical fox goodies, food was never far from my mind.

If there was one dominant theme in the t-shirts I saw people wearing at the festival, it was definitely…kittens. (Jason spotted two different kitten/Jaws poster spoofs, one that said Paws! and one that said Claws!). But taking a close second place were food-themed t-shirts of many flavors. And so today, let’s look at the ways you can let your foodie flag fly with your choice of garment. (I’ll link the photos to where you can buy these beauties, in case you want to bolster your summer wardrobe.)

Bonnaroo prides itself on its politically engaged audience. For instance, I saw a pretty awesome “Stand Up for Your Food” shirt at the festival, which I coveted but have not yet been able to find online. Anyway, why not make a statement with your tee, whether your opinions run toward supporting local farmers or force-feeding more geese?

There’s also the pop culture t-shirt, which, on the surface, seems to be about food, but might actually be about Walter White. And geez, I had no idea how many people liked that website The Chive until they got the idea to start making these shirts.

For those of you with an eye toward style, there are shirts that rely on their cute and/or pretty design elements to carry their food message.

But I think my favorite food tees are those that exist simply to celebrate a certain food (or, in some cases, an entire meal). You really have no idea how many bacon shirts there are floating around out there, but personally, I prefer this mac and cheese tee which is also available as a onesie, presumably for babies who are too young to eat mac and cheese. But, you know, you’ve got to raise those kids to respect the important things.

Vive le t-shirt! And many thanks to the expansive t-shirt blog Hide Your Arms for pointing me toward many of these cool designs.
