    My young child learns about farms in stuff in school, but it’s a super sanitized “Old MacDonald” style thing instead of seeing the horror of the factory style farms we have in this country lol.

    I think there’s a bit more education about farms for older kids in rural areas with proximity to agricultural labor, but yeah kinda uncommon here.

      Plenty of kids nowadays have grandparents with a small farm, some people have chickens in towns or even the fucking city. Hell I had helped with a runaway chicken one time. A lot of this is still a remnant of PRL and it’s non-existent collectivization of farm-land so we have a lot of elderly small farmers. Many of whom barely make ends meet, and are very, very reactionary. But still, kids get to milk cows and uhhhhh… Drink raw milk :no-i-in-pezza:
