I just realized, now Child Protective Services would remove the children from the “filthy, unhealthy, unsanitary” home! Why they even had chickens in the living room!
Years ago, when I worked for the old Bell System, I had to fix a phone in an old mobile home in Brownsville, California, where the old guy DID have chickens running around inside his home, pooping on the table, the drainboards, floors wherever. Every once in a while, he’d knock one of them off the table where I was trying to work and yell “Damned chickens!”. Amazing, the people I’d come across at times. Got chased by a big pet tom turkey once – the kids had to keep it away from me while I worked – it was a MEAN turkey.
Gordon Ramsey had some episodes of one of (his many) shows where he was raising some animals in his property organically to become healthier meals. They showed conversations with his children in which he talked about how good that turkey and that little piggy were going to taste at dinner.
I actually agree that it is a valid way to raise children. I may be doing vegetarian at the moment, but it is NOT my philosophy.
