No, you don't laugh.

You tell the stupid parents to shut the fk up. As the school said, it's a superb project to teach kids where their food actually comes from. I applaud the scheme.

Agreed, kids are to bloody soft these days, they need to learn where the food they eat comes from. Wheather they get upset or not its a fact of life.

I can remember a little friend of my son. He was about 8-9 years old at the time, and didn't realise meat originally had bones in it. He had never seen the likes of a chop.
"Where do you think meat comes from?", I asked?
"The shop". rolleyes

On a serious point, there was a survey, and I know statistics can show anything, but it said that a scary number of kids have no idea where meat comes from right down to not knowing what a Sheep or a Pig looks like.

It would be easier to do a survey showing what kids today do know. Very little it seems.
