Yes, of course - we should definitely have factory farms for this. In fact when we discussed this in my senior year of high school, the idea came up that if we allowed the pregnant female to do drugs it might result in a more tender cut of meat.

I don't know about 'should', but the infant is typically not politically powerful, so he may be eaten - if not directly, at least through the cannibalism that is lifelong employment in the capitalist system.

Love the writing in Modest Proposal though..
