Ok - so thank you for acknowledging the facts about factory farming.
So what I'm saying is that if we would talk to our kids about this or show them the realities of factory farms and slaughterhouses and show them that there are alternatives that don't involve all that destruction - then my view is most kids would instinctively choose the option that doesn't involve killing and making animals suffer.
I'm not saying we have to force kids - but instead give them the facts and let them decide.
But we are not doing it, since we know the reality of factory farming and slaughterhouses is grim.
Even a lot of adults can't look at that footage.
As Paul McCartney said - if slaughterhouses were made of glass and people could look into it - many would be horrified.
- nashashmi 4y agoWhich makes this an agenda, back to where we were from the start.
- uxcolumbo 4y agoWhich definition of agenda are you referring to? 1) discuss a list of item 2) "hidden purpose" - which is a negative connotation. If you mean point 2 then how is discussing with kids the facts and showing the reality of factory farming a hidden purpose? Are you saying kids should not know what they are eating and how it's being produced?

- uxcolumbo 4y agoSo you mean point 2. Then let me repeat my question: Are you saying kids should not know what they are eating and how it's being produced?
- nashashmi 4y agoDo you not understand you are in pursuit of an agenda? Do you not know what you are doing is pandering a personal agenda? NO matter what I am saying, this will still be an agenda. NO matter what you feel truth is, this will still be agenda.
- uxcolumbo 4y agoSo telling the facts of where meat comes from is following an agenda? Basically ou're saying we should hide facts from children. How else can I interpret your answer? If I go a step further, I could say you're following an agenda, i.e. don't tell kids that they are eating those cute animals they read about in their childrens books - because otherwise they might change their mind. The fact that you can't answer the simple question I raised in my post above is quite telling.
