One of my earliest memories is raising turkeys and chickens for the local (Walnut Creek!) 4-H club over 30 years ago. Henrietta (yes, I named her..) was killed, cleaned and consumed in our back yard. My parents thought it was important for all of us (5 kids…) to gain understanding and respect for our food cycle, at a young age. Ah yes, these pictures remind me of family holidays!

I saw the pixellated turkey heads and wondered about that – I’m in Australia, I don’t know that the TV networks would do that here.

Thanks for the photos, they’re very interesting.

Ugh, I meant to write sight, not site. Need more coffee, I guess.

Did you see the news coverage of one of Sarah Palin’s interviews, filmed in front of local turkeys being slaughtered? The news media made such a fuss of it, blurring out and sanitizing the images of the upside down turkeys in the background and making comments about how unappetizing the site was, etc. I was really disgusted with the media feeding frenzy on this, not the normal site of turkeys being humanely processed to nourish countless people.

It’s really shame how compartmentalized food production has become, and how separated people are from their food production, whether we’re talking about plant OR animal food (industrial-scale plant crops kill nature and animals in its own brutal way with soil degradation, habitat destruction, chemical applications, and harvesting machines, but most plant eaters don’t know that, either).
