Meateater - Good for everyone. We will let our preschool kids watch before they will ever get to watch some of the crappy cartoons that are out there these days.
That's very sad.
Why is this sad? Because we don't let our kids watch crappy cartoons? Or because we let them watch TV?
Certainly you aren't saying "That's very sad" because of the content found in Meateater. If you've watched it, you would know its of excellent viewing material.
That is exactly what I'm saying especially considering the age of your kids.
@DarkandStormy I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do here - either invite you to Northern Canada and show you what wildlife looks like, and take you on a hunting trip, OR tell you to "get stuffed" for being judgemental (in what I believe in, how I live, and how I raise my family.)
Steve Rinella, the host of MeatEater, is a great role model. He cares about his country. He cares about wildlife management. He is a respectful hunter. His show is not full of bravado - he is respectful. He is philosophical and thoughtful. He is responsible in his hunting. He doesn't use profanity. He doesn't use off-colored language. He is a great story teller.
The only reason I could see someone not liking this show - they don't agree with hunting.
As far as my kids, they are fantastic.
They play with frogs and are often too rough with them - and the frogs become limp.
They have seen songbirds hit the window of our house - and become lifeless.
They get their hands dirty in the garden and know where the beans, potatoes, pees, etc that they eat come from.
They know where the meat that sits on their plate comes from - whether it is beef, deer, grouse, or goose or otherwise.
My kids appreciate and respect the food put in front of them, and much of that is due to the fact that they are aware of what it takes to get it on their plate.
They understand The Circle of Life better than many adults do - and they haven't got that from The Lion King because they haven't watched that movie.
DarkandStormy, I offer you an invitation to the Great White North where I'd be willing to show you what a rich life looks like (the beauty of hunting and knowing where your food comes from), and I'm going to tell you to get stuffed!
