I haven't seen that show, but I like the concept. I think that people should
know that their meat, poultry, and fish didn't grow up in neat little
plastic wrapped packages. And, yes, I HAVE killed and processed my own cows,
pigs, and chickens (and deer, and ducks, and turkeys, and rabbits, and
quail; never lamb or sheep, but I would in a heartbeat.)
