Want Fries With That Cow?

My son contemplates the origin of meat.

By Prescott Carlson

We had the meat=cow conversation with my son when he was about four years old. I feared he was going to become a lifelong vegetarian after we broke the news. Instead, he surprised us by demanding a bow and arrow set so he could go out and hunt down a cow for us to eat!

My son so far hasn't expressed his concern of where the beef came from.

My problem was when my year and a half year old realized chickens came from eggs. While grocery shopping, he cried that all the eggs in the cartons would never produce birdies.

Prior to this he loved eating eggs, but now gags if he knows they were used in the meal preparation.

Now, eggs are called an ingredient to bypass any mealtime inquiries.
