Give: to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation; bestow

As an athiest (well, Church of the FSM anyhow) left-wing vegetarian, I know that a lot of my ideals are compromised in children's songs and activities, but in researching stuff to do for our upcoming "Farm" program, I was pretty appalled at this one...

The Giving Farm
By Vicki Witcher

Hens give eggs.
Pigs give ham.
Cows give milk.
Strawberries give jam.

Bees give honey.
Goats give cheese.
Farms give food,
I'd like some, please.

I am pretty sure pigs do not "give" ham, according to the definition. They would not do that "voluntarily".
