The missing link

Bit old this story, but totally stupid, nonetheless. A lady who has been veggie for twenty years is going to eat a McDonald’s Big Mac as part of an effort to raise money for a cancer charity. Now, if she was doing it to illustrate the link between fast foods and cancer, and it was a moment of sacrifice for the cause, then I could understand it. But no, that link dosen’t seem to have been noticed over in Berkhamstead. No, this is a genuine my-nan-died-from-cancer-so-I’ll-give-up-being-a-vegetarian-and-eat-a-McDonald’s piece of logic. And you know what the best bit is? No, I’ll let the ex-Berkhamstead vegetarian in question tell you: "It's the thought of eating something that was a living animal that's going to make it interesting," she says. The mind boggles.
