And ask him how long a chicken goes from hatching to being sold to the meat plant. And what and how they feed them to make that happen.

Yeah, I've heard about those poor headless chickens raised in 2 weeks for KFC, but I just can't stop eating them! JK, however I did have to repair a lot of machinery at the UofA farm and those chickens have a miserable short life. I can't remember the exact length of time but around every two months goverment inspectors would have the entire chicken herd destroyed to prevent disease from entering the chicken breeding strains.

A buddy of mine worked at a rendering plant for about 2 days and won't eat another hotdog in his life. Myself, I may know better but as long as it tastes good I still eat everything that I like without reflecting on it's origins. So far I'm not too fat (my opinion) and have lower cholesterol than my veggie pushing wife.
