Mr Foodchain was attending a Farmers Market Conference yesterday and heard a rather amusing/scary anecdote courtesy of a chap from FACE.
Basically the FACE man had been coordinating a school visit to a farm and at the end of the day the kids were making their way back to the coach when the farmer said to the school teacher:
“We’re just about to milk the cows. If you’re not in rush perhaps the children would like to see the process?”
To which she replied: “Oh no! I couldn’t possibly expose them to that much blood.”
“Sorry,” replied the farmer. “What blood?”
To teacher responded: “Well, you have to kill the cows to get the milk out, don’t you?”
True story, apparently.
