Four-Year-Old Tells Dad Shes Done With Sausages After Finding Out Where They Come From

Erin Copeland, who is four, was tucking into bangers and mash when she asked her dad, Brian, how they were made.

“We turn the pigs into sausages, the sausages are pigs,” he said – and to her horror, Erin replied: “But that’s not very nice!”Related... How Would You Feel If Your Child's School Went Veggie? Following the shocking disclosure, Brian tries to feed Erin sausages but she tells her dad that she’s “done” and doesn’t want to eat sausages anymore.
Brian, from Glasgow, explained: “Erin (now four) asked about where her food came from and I told her how the sausages come from pigs. I was quite specific about it, I told her how we take the pigs and make sausages out of them with machines.
“She said it wasn’t nice and wouldn’t eat the sausages on her plate! She eats them now but her favourite things are cucumbers and carrots.
“Food is a big thing and I think it’s important children know where it comes from. I feel like if she’s old enough to ask the question then she’s old enough to get the answer.”Related...
