Our society is just so far removed from the proper food production reality its incredible.
You have completely hit the nail on the head Tish  ;)

There was a survey carried out in school kids last year, and the very sad fact is that some of these kids didn't know that milk came from cows and chickens laid eggs  ::) Thankfully my kids are a bit more clued up that that  ;D
Whatever happened to the 'hunter/gatherer' bit in our genetic make up  ???

the hunter/gatherer is alive and well if somewhat frustrated in a terrace in coventry!!!

however it has just ordered some yummy freerange piggy that someone has dared to slaughter after raising it themselves...

so looking forward to trying it!!!

except where I work - the kids are well informed... by me!  And, on the whole, interested and fairly understanding.
Its the other staff who are "oh, you can't do that!"

I was offered some chickens by a colleague, as he (who'd got them from his child's school incubation project) was under the impression that yellow chicks were all girls and brown ones were boys.  I said "ok, but if I end up with cockerels, I'll eat them!"
... Looks of horror from around the room!

I just reply, like most of you by the sounds of it, that at least my meat hasn't had a short life in a dark cage in Poland, or wherever.  I know where its born, what its eaten, and that it has had a life of care and love in the sun...
