Restaurants should add photos of animals to their menus to guilt diners into ordering vegetarian dishes instead of meat, scientists claim. 'Visual reminders of meat's animal origins can influence actual food choices in a natural setting,' the researchers said. 'By displaying images of live animals alongside meat–based dishes on university cafeteria menus, we observed a significant increase in the proportion of vegetarian meals sold. An analysis of sales revealed that the odds of ordering a vegetarian meal were 22 per cent higher when the animal images were displayed. However, the researchers hope the findings highlight the impact of animal images on diner choices.

The Barcelona winger is now in a race against time to return for the World Cup, having sustained a hamstring injury during that match.

‌On Wednesday, the US President also renewed his threats to quit Nato, telling The Telegraph: "Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration. But Mr Starmer said the UK was fully committed to Nato, saying: "[It's] the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen."
