I don’t want to know

1019: 

Ugly, noisy, smelly, and to be avoided at all costs.  We’re told that it’s a health and safety issue, and this is why animal farms and abattoirs these days are closed to the public.  In reality, these places have all the charm of concentration camps, which is why only those people who work in them know what goes on there.  Enthusiastic consumers of meat and milk products have a picture in their heads of a happy farmyard (circa 1930) - they don’t want to know about the industrial processes being applied to the rearing and killing of animals.  If they did it would spoil their dinner.
