Wise Words on Wednesday: Meat

“You can get a large audience together for a strip-tease act—that is, to watch a girl undress on the stage.

Now suppose you come to a country where you could fill a theatre by simply bringing a covered plate on to the stage and then slowly lifting the cover so as to let every one see, just before the lights went out, that it contained a mutton chop or a bit of bacon, would you not think that in that country something had gone wrong with the appetite for food?”

– CS Lewis, Mere Christianity (Book III)
