Lying To Children
Farmer John's slaughterhouse in
Los Angeles covered a whole block...
8 foot walls on all sides to hide
the murder of 6000 pigs a day
there... while on the outside
walls were murals of happy pigs.
Hamburgers don't grow in
hamburger patches as one
fast food ad campaign directed
at children said. Charlie doesn't
want to be impaled on a hook to become
food, though a tuna fish company
portrayed him as a great masochist.
Nor do children want to be Oscar
Mayer wieners, though a corporate
song claimed they do. The Oscar Mayer
slaughterhouse in Madison Wisconsin
did not have grade school children
making field trips to its site.
