Nothing beats a stroll in cattle country. Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such educational films as Two Minus Three Equals Negative Fun.! And Firecrackers: The Silent Killer.

Mr. McClure?

Oh, hello, Bobby.

Jimmy. I'm curious as to how meat gets from the ranch to my stomach.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, Jimmy. You just asked a mouthful. It all starts here in the high-density feedlot. Then when the cattle are just right- Mmm! it's time for them to "graduate" from Bovine University. Come on, Jimmy. Let's take a peek at the killing floor.

Jimmy gasps

Don't let the name throw you, Jimmy. It's not really a floor. It's more of a steel grating... that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported. Getting hungry, Jimmy?

Uh, Mr. McClure, I have a crazy friend... who says it's wrong to eat meat. Is he crazy?

No, just ignorant. You see, your crazy friend never heard of the food chain. Just ask this scientician.

Uh-

He'll tell you that in nature one creature invariably eats another to survive. Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about.

Wow, Mr. McClure! I was a Grade A moron to ever question eating meat.

Yes, you were, Jimmy. Yes, you were.
