I don't see anything wrong with taking the kids to the slaughterhouse to learn where meat comes from. I guess the teacher should have had the kids sign permission slips and have given them the option to stay behind, but come on. I hate how sensitive the world has become, if they want to eat it they should know what it is. I learned very quickly what mutton was while visiting my uncle's farm in Scandinavia at age 6, becoming "friends" with two sheep and soon after seeing them being gutted. It was not pleasant, but it got me asking questions about where food came from and it really didn't do any harm.
And remember, kids: you can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter".

Without experiencing where food comes from, you are unable to respect it. (Not just meat, but vegetables.) The actual cost of food becomes lost. Once you lose respect for food, it becomes nothing but McDonald's and prepacked shit–*like most Americans are used to eating. You have no qualms about wasting it. People need to understand the time it takes to grow the food, how the food is processed (is turned into pink slime?) and how the food is prepared. Even if these necessary parts of life are something we'd rather not think about. School is a great place to learn about these things. All students should visit a farm, a dairy, a slaughterhouse, etc. just as we all visited civic institutions like firehouses, theaters, chocolate factories, etc. |
