Why Does Mrs. Dupont’s Cow Eat Beets? The Question Divides the Village!

The village of Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine is plunged into an intense debate: does Mrs. Dupont’s cow have the right to eat beets or not? The local residents are divided.

The story began a week ago when Mrs. Dupont, owner of the local dairy, committed the unthinkable: she started feeding her cow, Marguerite, beets. According to her, it makes her milk sweeter and richer. “I don’t understand this fuss. Marguerite’s milk is better than ever. Plus, she loves those beets!” exclaims Mrs. Dupont.

However, this decision has not been well received by everyone. On one side, there are those who applaud Mrs. Dupont’s initiative. “It’s a brilliant idea. The milk really does taste different, sweeter,” declares Mr. Martin, the local baker and a regular consumer of cow’s milk. Moreover, the news has sparked a wave of experimentation, with some farmers starting to incorporate other vegetables into their animals’ diets.

On the other side, there are those who see this change as an aberration, even a betrayal of farming tradition. “A cow eating beets is unnatural!” exclaims Mr. Lefèvre, the village mayor. He even threatens to intervene to protect the agricultural values of the village.

In the end, Marguerite the cow continues to calmly munch on her beets, unconcerned by the human storm surrounding her. “As long as she is happy and healthy, I don’t see the problem,” concludes Mrs. Dupont. But the debate is far from over, and the village of Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine is likely to remain divided on the issue of beets for some time.
