ok,has anyone else seen this DISGUSTING propaganda bullshit website?

 

http://www.pork4kids.com/default.asp

 

This site is incredible in it's blatant attempt to misinform kids by

using obvious effects such as bright colors, cartoon like characters

and trying to create a fun cyberspace dedicated to pork! Amongst the

delights, we have:

 

" Pork I.Q.

Take this online quiz and you could make the Pork4Kids.com Honor

Roll! "

 

" Count the Hidden Piglets Game

8 little piglets are playing " hide 'n seek. " Can you help them find

their mother? "

 

Yep, she's right above them in a restraning pen. Wot no pictures? I

wonder why.

 

In the virtual classroom teachers are told that:

 

" Students will learn about the duties of farmers who raise pigs.

Students will complete cross-curricular learning activities related

to pigs and farms that will further their knowledge of the farm-to-

table process. "

 

Yes, I'm sure they'll be given the full facts (not).

 

The beginners lesson consists of this gem:

" Through an on-line farm tour students will meet an actual farm

family, in order to further their understanding of daily life on a

farm. So they will be taught how pork ends up on their plate "

 

So that's a visit to a virtual slaughterhouse and rendering plant. No?

 

Oh and, if you haven't had your fill yet, don't forget to visit

http://www.otherwhitemeat.com/ from the links page.

Sick, the whole lot of it.
