The kids have a really simple view of life and are just learning about things around them. I read to them little science books about "living things" and "non living things". They learn about plants and animals, etc.
Then during meals, they discuss about how the chicken "die already" before you can eat it. (Overheard my girl telling my boy).
I was working in the kitchen when my boy saw some utensils with pictures of cows on them. "Mummy, this one can cook cow." Yes, I said. "Cow's meat is called beef. We can buy it in the supermarket." "But how do you buy it from the supermarket? The cow is so big. Do you have to walk slowly?"
Errrmmm how do I explain to him that the cow has to be slaughtered first?
The children sometimes makes me feel really cruel eating meat.
