As far as the “childhood nightmare of cute little pigs becoming bacon”, we as a society need to remember where our food comes from.

I used yesterday to educate my 6 year-old son. Every animal we looked at and petted, he understands is also food. While looking at the cows, he learned where his steaks come from. While looking at the pigs he learned where his bacon & ham comes from. And the same went for the chickens.

He'll learn about the process when he is a llittle older. For now, he understands where it comes from and that is a good start.
