'Cannibal cafe' in Berlin = a vegetarian campaign

You may have heard of this and though various things. It would certainly make for an interesting ethical discussion. It now turns out it was a ploy by a German vegetarian group (Vebu):
"Vebu wants to draw attention to all of us who are affected by the worldwide consumption of meat,'

And the reason for doing this is something that we should all, indeed, consider:
It pointed out that every 3.6 seconds somebody dies in the world due to undernourishment, while the majority of grain production is used for the feeding of farm animals."

As I keep saying: the world can't sustain our western meat addiction. Reduce or remove meat from your diet!

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
