Society has changed so much that books today do not include directions on how to slaughter animals. The book is rated at fifth grade reading level for Accelerated Reader. My next topic will talk about the life skills mentioned on Farmer Boy.

Farmer Boy
In the harvesting chapters of Farmer Boy Laura Ingalls Wilder describes how the family butchered five hogs and a cow. In 1930's and 1940's there was still a high percentage of rural America. Today in 2013 a very HIGH percent of American is urbanized. Today's population believes every piece of food starts and ends at a fast food diner or convenience store. They don't realize the rancher raises cattle or poultry and then slaughters them. Out of sight, out of mind.
