And Dead People! (by sarah)
A conversation we had with Jean concerning eating meat:
Jean "look cows daddy - I like cows!'
Alaric "I like cows too Jean, but you like them in a slightly different way to me."
Jean enquiring look
Alaric "You eat them as well"
Jean "No I don't"
Alaric "Yes you do Jean"
Jean "I don't! Do I mummy?"
Sarah "Yes you do Jeany, thats what burgers are - remember its like the cats? When those cows die they are made into burgers"
Jean "No their not silly mummy!"
Alaric "Yes they are"
Sarah "Its like the vegitables in the garden Jean - we water and feed them and then when they are big enough we dig them up and chop them into cassaroles and stuff. Well thats what happens with the animals and thats what burgers and suasages are."
Jean "I eat cows!"
Us "Yes Jean"
Jean "And Piggies?!"
US "Yes Jean"
Jean "And sheeps?!"
Us "Yes Jean"
Jean "And chick chicks?!"
Us "Yes Jean"
Jean "And dead people?!"
Us "No Jean!" LAUGHTER
Sarah "Not in our society anyway"
Jean "Why?"
Alaric "Well for several reasons - firstly there is disease - what ever the person dies of might be passed onto you if you eat them, secondly all the freinds and relatives of the person might get a bit upset as they wouldn't like the idea of their friend being eaten."
Sarah "Thirdly it would be against some peoples beliefs"
Jean "Oh ok"
Alaric "Well thats the sort of comment they are bound to come out with whilst talking to a teatcher or social working and perants go - argggKKK!"
All I can say is Soylent Green anybody?
