If you ever go to a chicken farm, chickens are some of the nastiest birds on the planet. They even eat their own feces and the smell is almost unbearable. Its hard to think of many cultures that dont eat chicken and chicken taste so damn good.

I never wonder why we eat so much chicken because we can find chicken everywhere. It is very easy to buy a processed chicken, and the price is much cheaper than meat or fish. And the taste is very good too. Chicken is quite easy to take care because its small size, and it doesn't take that long to reach a matured age to be eaten. Unlike cows, buffalos and pigs, chicken's life span is the shortest and the easiest meat source for us the human beings. Chicken eat everything but so do pigs. So it is better not to think about what they eat or else we would end up being a vegetarian.

Hmm well, I guess people love the taste of chickens, that is why we cant stop eating them. I too have been in the chicken farm, but then I don't really mind it at all. Hehehe, pigs too can be a bit disgusting, but we still eat them. I guess I'm just getting used to it. One thing, we are eating chicken our whole life, but we don't get sick though, and as long as it is safe to eat, I would definitely try it. heheehe

I like other meat better than chicken. I prefer pork or lamb. I prefer fish and sea food. But the thing is chicken is one of the most unexpensive proteins, at least in my country. I live alone. If I buy a chicken I can eat maybe 5 or 6 days. If I spend the same amount of money in another meat, I´ll just have food for one day.

I have often wondered the same thing. I have been around chickens all my life, and I have seen chickens take a dump, then turn around and peck the corn kernels right back out of the pile. Ironically, chicken is one of the healthiest meats we eat. I have no idea why, but I never think about how nasty they really are when I am eating them...LOL
