[…] I asked the man behind the counter if the Steak Nuggets were such a hasty retreat because they were unpopular with his diners. He said the following: “Well, we were one of the last stores to have those things, because nobody bought ’em.”

That’s a lot better, but I have a secondary concern I didn’t want to clog the above comment with. It’s that chickens as they exist today shouldn’t really exist. They’ve been bred to the point that the daily periods destroy their bodies. It’s not healthy. It’s like the problem with pugs, we should have left them alone, and now that they’re like this, it’s our responsibility to breed them back to health. Continuing to breed more with these health problems is an act of abuse in itself.
It’s some better, not a lot if you research most of the sources for those packages that say “freeroaming.” The only way the minimum standard for “freeroaming” labeling looks good (and, face it, no profitable operation does more than the minimum required) is by comparison with the factory hell-houses.
OK, so you’re saying we should let them die out? Go extinct?
That’s one solution I would prefer to the current situation. The other is breeding them for health and happiness. We fucked them up and we have a responsibility to use that same power to fix them.
