Squealer, who is known to be a persuasive talker, tells the other animals that it has been "scientifically proven that milk and apples are essential to the well-being of a pig". He reasons that since the pigs are the "brains" behind the management of Animal Farm, its whole existence depends upon them. He goes on to say that some pigs don't even like milk and apples, but they eat them for the good of the other animals so that they may be better able to carry out their very important duties - if they fail in this respect, Farmer Jones may come back! The animals are convinced by Squealer's argument, and the deception becomes practice without further opposition.

He also continues to remind the other animals that they receive more food than when Mr. Jones ran the farm.
Propaganda is a tool used by a totalitarian government to keep their people in line. This is used in conjunction with terror, censorship.
