Food in France is always political.Marie-Antoinette ran into trouble after advising the poor to eat cake;the far right has made its"fight"against halal meat in schools its rallying cry and don't get a French person started on whether to say pain au chocolat.or chocolatine(a burning topic dividing the country,which was even discussed in parliament in May).Yet even by French stanclards,the developing row between butchers and vegans is quite something.Angry butchers have just written a letter to the French interior minister,Gerard Collomb,asking for police protection against violence from vegan"fanatics"who have mounted a guerilla campaign of intimidation against them.Butcher's shops arouncl the country have been sprayed with fake blood and vandalised by vegan activists."Stop speciesism"was daubed over one rotisserie in Lille and its windows were broken.Most traditional French cuisine(which was placed on UNESCO's world cultural hericage list in 2010)caters for the carnivore.Think of cassoulet,foie gras,quiche lorraine and boeuf bourguignon.And because the French take so much pride in that tradition,ditching animal products-not only meat,but also cheese-is widely frowned on.No matter that illustrious Frenchmen,such as Vollaire,were vegetarians.In the orthodox French mind,meal in various sauces makes the bulk of the meal:if you take it out,what's left?After I went vegetarian,my parents started cooking three dishes at every family meal to make up for the lack of meat-it being thought that if you don't.eat meat,there probably won't be enough food in your plate.In many French restaurants,vegetarians and vegans struggle to order something that isn't composed solely of three salad leaves and a radish.And from a young age,French schoolchildren are taught that a meal isn't complete without meat.Although carbs or vegetables are sometimes seen as optional,meat definitely isn't.French butchers are right to be angry about their vandalised shops and are perhaps womed that meat sales are falling as vegetarianism and veganism are becoming more popular.But their letter unnecessarily attempts to discredit veganism,dividing"normal"people who eat meat from the wild eccentrics who don't.Demanding police protection for a few broken windows also seems a bic over the top in light of the power of the meat industry lobby.This group exerts such influence that it recently defeated two measures seen as"anti-meat".First,the French parliament dropped a proposal to introduce at least one vegetarian school meal a week.Then it voted in favour of a ban of the use of meat-relaled words such as"sausage"or"bacon"for the selling of veggie or vegan alLernalive products.Which of the following could be the best title of the text?A.The Politics of Food and Eating in FranceB.Butchers Fight Back in French Culinary WarsC.France Bans Meat-like Terms on Vegetarian FoodD.Butchers Demand Protection From Vegans
