I am a shaken turkey

I had a very interesting lunch and learn with the trio today and I want to share with you the things that we spoke about and that I have learned.

Did you know there are 1 billion sheep on this planet? I said that the number is probably highly inaccurate because whoever did the count was probably falling asleep a lot and Petunia and Carmel laughed at that and said I was a funny turkey.

In comparison there are 677 million pigs and 450 million turkeys and Carmel seemed very proud of that because there was more of her than of us.

I learned that Greece is 5500 miles away from us which seems very very far away.

For the last question, the one that is subject to the most interpretation depending on the person or animal and the nose with which they are smelling, there were a number of answers.

"Fresh coffee" is the best smell in the world according to my friend Kerry Jane on Twitter and google.com seems to also think that freshly baked cookies is a very good smell as well.

Then I told the trio that I also learned that bacon is apparently a very popular smell too and at that Petunia got a little sad and I asked her why and she said that bacon was made from pigs and that people ate pigs and she didn't think she would ever like to try bacon and that triggered something in my memory that I learned a little while ago and that is that humans also eat turkeys.

I had heard that from a friend of mine on twitter and I had put it right out of my head because I didn't like the thought of it at all but I thought about it all afternoon and I am a shaken turkey.

I have just now gone to google.com and I asked "Who eats lamb?" because I wanted to know if people are eating every member of our trio and do you know who eats lambs???

There are several countries who eat the most lamb and they are places called Mongolia, Turkmenistan, New Zealand, Iceland and one last country that will surprise the heck out of you and are you ready to guess what it is?

GREECE!

My friends in Greece who make the wonderful thing called tzatziki are one of the highest eaters of lamb in this entire world.

I do not know what to do with this information that is now living in my head. People I wanted to be friends with eat the friends I have now and, oh boy, this is a complicated emotion and I do not even know what I should call this emotion.

And people eat so many of us here on the farm... they eat chickens and they eat cows but they do not eat horses so much or cats. I have learned a lot tonight on google.com and we will have a lot more to talk about at tomorrow's lunch that is for sure.

I hope I can sleep tonight because oh boy these are some deeply disturbing realizations let me tell you.
