They’re really better if you don’t know

NewMexiKen is reading Michael Pollan’s 2006 book The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. It reminded my of a conversation I heard about over the weekend concerning 5-year-old McKenna, one of my friend Donna’s granddaughters.

McKenna was in a discussion with her grandfather about getting chickens for the farm he’d recently purchased. He told her that chickens and cows can be pets, but they could also be food.

“Where do you think chicken nuggets come from?,” he asked.

“McDonalds,” McKenna answered.
