A new approach takes shape; Humane Farming.

[Guest guest]

Ondine Sherman was eight years old when she made the connection between

the meat on her plate and animals on a farm.

 

She vividly remembers the night her grandmother cooked up a pot of

tongue for her family.

 

"My grandmother lived with us and she was serving up the food up. And I

think I took my first bite and I looked at it and I said 'what is

this?' And she said, 'it's tongue, it's a cow's tongue'."

 

"I just went into shock. Like I just couldn't believe I was eating

somebody's tongue. And I realised that I didn't want to eat animals any

more," Ondine recalled.

 

For Ondine, the idea that all animals play happily in the sunshine on

Old MacDonald's Farm was shattered.
