| Kill It, Cook It, Eat It JULIA hosts the fourth series of Kill It, Cook It, Eat It that shows exactly what it takes to turn a living animal into meat for the table. This current series goes down to the farm to follow how animals are turned into fast food – cattle into burgers, lambs into kebabs, pigs into sausages and chickens into nuggets. Following and helping will be a group of six volunteers who, by immersing themselves in the visceral experience, will be able to inform and challenge their beliefs in a show that debates the ethics around meat production and eating in the UK today. Sausages are on the menu when Pipers' pigs are taken from the orchards down to the local abattoir. The volunteers following the journey from field to fork spend time with the pigs and even help castrate piglets. Pigs can be raised in intensive livestock systems which the novice farm hands find challenging and something that changes their views on the meat, and the sausages in particular, that they will eat. Martin Davidson, acting Genre Commissioner, BBC Specialist Factual, said: "Kill It, Cook It, Eat It is already established as innovative television and the new series will be as edgy and well-handled as in previous series. "This is not an easy subject to face up to and this series aims to reconnect the British public with how the animals they eat reach their plate. It will show, straightforwardly and in detail, the entire process from farm to fork." Related Links:
