[Akiruno, Tokyo] From turning a whole chicken into meat to "Lessons on Life: Dissecting a Chicken"

~We live by receiving life. Let's learn from chickens, the meaning of "Itadakimasu" ~ [Event content] This is a workshop to dissect a live chicken and turn it into meat. Each person will dissect one chicken. (Staff will support children) Meat is eating the meat of a living animal. The meat we eat every day is originally a living creature. It's a common thing, but in today's world where eating meat is a given, the concept that meat = life tends to become weak. By dissect it with your own hands, you can learn about the process of turning a living creature into meat. As a way to educate children about food and as a stepping stone for those aiming to obtain a hunting license, you will dissect and cook while thinking about "life". For lunch, we will cook fresh eggs from a poultry farmer that morning. *Due to the Food Sanitation Act, we will ask for some help with cooking. ~~ ...The meeting place is a 1-minute walk from the meeting place. After a tour of the facilities, we will introduce ourselves and the lesson will begin.
