131. I think children should ABSOLUTELY have to see this.
Why hide the reality of meat from them? Children have seen dead animals hung for butchering since before the dawn of civilization and they've managed to cope; why on Earth do we believe they are no longer capable of dealing with that?

I don't eat meat, but damned if I think we need to shield ourselves from reality and pretend meat is something that magically appears in the grocery store wrapped in cellophane and ready to cook.

Every bit of meat you eat starts out as a carcass hanging from a hook, much like these little Bambis.

Deal with it.
