>They’re children. They don’t need to know where bacon and hot dogs come from.

not sure about that. Around age 7 i saw a full butchering of a pig at my grandmother's farm, and i was still happily eating pork for the next 20+ years, and i don't remember anybody in my childhood not knowing where the bacon is coming from. I stopped eating beef and pork though about 20 years ago exactly for the reason where it comes from.

Btw, "They don’t need to know where ... come from" can be said by the powers-to-be about people of any age.
