It is possible to survive and not eat chicken at all.
I'm aware, having done so myself for over 30 years. But how long do you think that moral high ground will hold you?
Is your chocolate fair trade and slave free? Your coffee? Were your vegetables grown and picked by people being paid a fair and living wage? Does the company that makes your burritos bust unions?
If you're confident you're in the right for every piece of food you eat, I'd love to know what that costs you because it's going to be a fuckload more than minimum wage leaves.
"Bottom up" solutions to exploitation don't work and are nothing more than the propaganda of scumbags. So rather than shaming people for what they eat, try shaming the corporations and politicans who let it be unethically produced in the first place.
I can't be perfect so I should give up trying. Gotcha.
