Pigs and bacon and the meaning of life

This is a conversation Evette and I had over Thanksgiving break while we were preparing bacon for quiches at Matthew and Judy's house. For context, Evette had been reading Charlotte's Web with Heidi so was well aware of where the bacon had come from.

I recorded the conversation day of, so pretty sure this is verbatim.

Evette: Why that pig have to die? 

Me: To feed us 

E: Why? 

Me: ..Because we got hungry?

E: Why his friends no help him? [referring to Wilber's friends in Charlotte's Web who help him avoid the butcher]

Such a good question, no?

You'd think such questions would indicate vegetarian leanings, but she loved eating that bacon.
