Why Did the Chicken....?


I am aware that most people chose organic meats and vegetables because they fear the deleterious effects of pesticides, herbicides, antbiotics and hormones. They fear mutagenesis to humans as well as to domesticated plants and animals. And so they prefer that their food supply is sourced with naturally occurring substrates.

I cannot disagree; but I personally chose organic produce and proteins simply because I think they taste better.

And yesterday as I prepared my grain-fed free range whole roaster, I also cleaned and seasoned the internal organs that were supplied and wrapped in the cavity of the bird. The wrapped package contained no neck, two hearts, three livers and a partial gizzard.

I have to wonder if all that healthy eating and lifestyle did the bird in as it appeared by the accounting of its parts to be a mutant.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because chickens are omnivores not vegetarians—and there was a McDonald’s on the other side.
