Meaty reads

AFTER author jeanette Winterson tweeted that she’d captured and eaten a rabbit, she was attacked by vegetarians who said they’d never again read a single word she wrote.

An unrepentant meat-eater responded: ‘A reading list confined to vegetarian authors would be extremely restrictive,’ and she’s right. You’d have to read the warped, nightmarish stories of franz Kafka who, after becoming a vegetarian, said to a fish in an aquarium: ‘Now I can look at you in peace; I don’t eat you any more.’

Or you could opt for Mein Kampf by that other animal-loving veggie Adolf Hitler.
