i'm glad you like it!
chickens...i'm going to have to answer you completely honestly-, from a Pete Singer-inspired point of view...the average carnivore eats something like one cow per year, but many more chickens. Chickens are subjected to the same type of cruelty as cows in factory-farm settings, where most of yr chicken-to-eat is raised. whereas the cows get slung up and necks slit, chickens are kept in tiny pens pecking each other to death.
the happier i become, the closer to veganism i approach. unfortunately, right now, i'm eating eggs, cheese, and fish! can't expend the energy on label-reading and pickiness.
reading about the animal-food industry is much like reading about the horrors of slavery, third-world country Wal-Mart manufacturers, Thai prosititutes, etc...absolutely horrible.
devoutly,
sar
