Many teen agers, after reading a book or article or visit to a
slaughterhouse, overnight adopted vegetarian diet. The meat industry became
so concerned that in many places, slaughterhouses no longer allow tours of
their operation for high schoolers. I think the cruelty of the operation and
dirty atmosphere affects teenagers who are sensitive.
I still recall the young kid who refused to drink milk when the kid
witnessed milking of a cow. He said he is not drinking anything that come
out of the penis!!!
