However, if it is true that the pigs do not enjoy milk and apples, then why would they hoard them? Squealer announces that “Science” has proven that the milk and apples are “absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig”. These are pigs who are “brain-workers” and spend the whole day supervising the
