So I am reading my email (comment from the Fabs (thank you)) and GMail has a link that says; "Chicken Top 10 List - GoVeg.com - See the top 10 reasons why you need 2 leave chicken off your plate".... Needless to say they had my attention!
The document is a Manifesto for Chicken Survival! A Chicken MASTERPIECE I SAY!!
A few quotes;
1. ‘Bird Brain’ Is a Compliment Several recent studies have shown that
chickens are bright animals, able to solve complex problems, demonstrate
self-control, and worry about the future. Chickens are smarter than cats or dogs
and even do some things that have not yet been seen in mammals other than
primates....
UMM Hmm Umm Hmm......
2. All Drugged Up Quite simply, chickens are the most abused animals on the planet...
Now THAT'S not nice, besides some of just drink! But please go on...
10. Better Than the OriginalDo you like the taste of chicken flesh but don’t like the suffering? No problem—try some of the fantastic alternatives now available, such as Boca Chik’n Nuggets, Gardenburger’s Meatless Buffalo Chicken Wings, and Yves Veggie Chicken Burgers. These super-tasty foods are high in protein, cruelty- and cholesterol- free, and available at your local supermarket. Instead of eggs, try tofu scramble, whip up some vegan French toast, or check out our egg-free baking tips.
Sounds Yummy... or something...
Most of the rest of it is tree hugger anti-meat mumbo jumbo (we all know how delicious Chickens are, after all). Just don't eat the rubber ones!!
I saw another link on the site that made me proud... A fellow plastic celebrity taking up the cause here so make sure you check it out!
Chester OUT!
Chester,
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite ready to give up chicken yet...it's just too damn good! I do promise you that I do buy chicken and eggs that are Certified Humane and Organic. So, no druggie chickens or chickens that aren't pent up in cages and allowed to roam free are consumed at our house. Maybe I'll get to the point where I can happily eat a tofu scramble, but for now I'll enjoy my mushroom, spinach, onion and cheese omlettes for breakfast!
I do think you're safe, pal. We'd never throw you on our grill, unless you were REALLY misbehaving or something. Which might happen if you go with me on another road trip. I am going to San Diego in June you know. Maybe you want to start cutting back on the beers NOW in preparation!
