What did squealer say to explain why the pigs needed milk in book animal farm?

Squealer explained that the pigs needed the milk and apples because "it was absolutely necessary for the health of the pigs to have the best food" and that "milk and apples (especially the apples) were extraordinarily good for the brain".

He also argued that the pigs "were the brains of the farm" and therefore needed a special diet to maintain their intellectual abilities.

This was a clever manipulation by Napoleon, as he used Squealer to convince the other animals that the pigs were essential for the farm's success, and that their privileges were justified.
