Puppet show teaches children where their food comes from

Neat story I came across in the Leader Post this morning about a puppet show sponsored by the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan.

"The focus is on food — where it comes from, how animals are cared for — so children have a better understanding," said Adele Buettner, executive director of the Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan (FACS).
The touring puppet show, organized by FACS, is funded by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and the Cattle Marketing Deduction Fund. It stopped at two Regina schools Monday as part of a two week tour around the province.
Buettner said they are always looking for new ways to educate students about farm facts.
"With only 3 per cent of the Canadian population having direct ties to the family farm, making that connection, we feel, is very important. The puppet show is a creative and innovative way to do that," said Buettner.
"It's important for all of us, as a consumer, to know what you're buying, what you're eating and where it comes from," she added. "Puppet show teaches children where their food comes from" Jenn VanRiper, Leader-Post October 25, 2010
