The meats that we eat come from animals that eat plants. We will complete our study of the basic needs of animals with a very interesting activity, but you will have to wait to see what it is going to be. Man eats meat and plants. Hamburgers come from the beef cow. The cow has eaten the green grass and corn that supplies its food.
Milk comes from the dairy cow who has eaten grasses and corn- and other grains.
Chickens, that we eat, ate grass and little rocks and cracked corn. Well chickens come from fertilized eggs when incubated for 21 days. The chicken eats grasses, grains and commercial poultry feed until it reaches maturity then it begins to lay eggs. We eat both the eggs and the chickens for our food. A chicken will eat its own eggs, shells and all, if they are not fed adequately.
