…featuring Sketching Weakly’s new Investigative Journalist, Agatha Frizbee. Over to you, Agatha!
Well, this week, it’s the Meat Special. And we ask the question:
I’ve been down the supermarket…
and I’ve been having a good hard look at the Meat Aisle. And it seems to me that it’s quite difficult from the packets to see who your meat was. And we all want to know, don’t we? We want to know that they had a nice life before they became meat.
Although these packets are all very attractive, I think they could do more to introduce us to who we’re going to eat, and make the invisible visible. Here’s what they could be like:
Because if you’re going to eat someone, you’d want to know who you’re eating.
Reminds me of Emma, Lucy and Amy who were the hens I got to know best back in the day. And Alistair, who I helped to kill but decided not to eat…
Poor Alistair – I hope he was not wasted!
Another great report from Agatha and the artickle in the Grauniad – thanks Minix
