USA It is not surprising that farmers receive little sympathy from town-dwellers Mark B, UK There is definitely a communication problem. Considering all of this, it is not surprising that farmers receive little sympathy from town-dwellers, and I say this as someone who has spent most of my life living in the countryside. As an American living in the middle of our farm belt I think it is a correct statement that town dwellers do not understand or care about their rural counterparts. People move out to the countryside and then begin to raise all kinds of a fuss about noise and odours. Most people living in towns have no concept of where their food and clothing come from.
Meat comes from animals raised and slaughtered for that purpose.
Eggs and poultry require the same. The meat and vegetables everyone eats are not made in a factory or store. Too many people have forgotten what it takes to feed the world.
