Little Red Riding Hood And The Vegetarian Wolf

The True Story of Little Red Riding Hood
Children’s books are getting more progressive and politically correct these days.
The big bad wolf in The True Story of Little Red Riding Hood can now be vegetarian and skip the treat of human meat while Little Red searches for vegetarian recipes.
Sounds hilarious enough, but not everyone is happy with the rewrites of traditional children’s stories.
The Mail Online wrote an article titled, Children Won’t Digest Tales of Feeble Vegetarian Wolves, in which it stated:
“What is so staggering is the sheer audacity of the people who come up with these new versions. It’s like the trendy Anglican clerics who took it upon themselves in the early 1960s to knock out an ‘improved’ version of the King James Bible. Yet just as we allow our local vicars to get away with using the enfeebled modernised Bible, so we let bookshops get away with flogging emaciated versions of children’s classics.”
A vegetarian wolf is far from emaciated.
What better way to teach children about healthy eating (not to mention non violent behavior) than to have the villainous wolf eat vegetables and forgo flesh.
This wolf should be portrayed living longer than his other wolf neighbors, paying less out of pocket expenses for his health care and scoring more with the female wolves as he misses out on the effects of eating cholesterol and fat filled human meat that will ultimately lead to his impotence.
Oh, wait. This is a children’s book. Healthy body, less doctor visits, but no impotence.
Perhaps other renditions of classic tales have adulterated the originals.
But the big, bad vegetarian wolf and his broccoli should stay.
