Food Factory

Silva Meals was a company that sold food for factories and people. They sold fresh and frozen food with the smoothest meat in the region. The company also worked as a shelter for abandoned children. They took the children from the street and gave them a home where they could eat and sleep. Mr. João, owner of Silver Meals, was considered a saint in the big concrete city where someone would rarely dedicate a minute to help the neighbor. However, as any factory that works in the aliment department, it did have a secret! They would never reveal the suppliers of their meat... Of course they couldn't, for those delicious dishes were prepared from the smooth meat of the well fed homeless children.
