 Muscular Veggies for Lent

An instructive illustration of how some people now understand the penitential season is provided by a pamphlet that a colleague draws to my attention. Sponsored by "Christian Response (Worldwide)," it promotes something called "Veg4Lent". Traditional notions of Lenten austerity are conscripted in the service of other agenda, namely missionary vegetarianism: "...'Food production' entails a very real and violent form of oppression...live healthier...lives, in forsaking an acquired taste for meat...etc., etc."
