Deep thoughts on hen feed
-
I was browsing the local grocery store, and ran across a brand of egg that had this slogan on its container: Vegetarian fed hens and I thought to myself "Where did they get the vegetarians to feed them with? Do they have a vegetarian ranch, or are they vegetarians from the wild for wild chickens?" [Edit: spell check can't tell between vegetarians and veterinarians!]
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

It's not hard to catch vegetarians. They have no muscle and can't put up a fight. Plus, no one misses them. :-D

Sounds like a hen that is guaranteed to not go outside, and is purely fed grains or corn. Chickens like to dig for proteins. Can't dig through concrete, so a non-outside chicken can be guaranteed to be raised vegetarian. Wordsmithing.

Chickens are vegetarians so we don't have to be.

They used to grind beef and feed it to cows, which was one way "Mad Cow Disease" was spread. These chickens don't eat other chickens I take it.

I read somewhere that chicken grown in 42-63 days will have very litte taste of chicken unless they are fed waste meat from other chicken. Also, to get enough calcium to develop their skeleton that fast, the feed contains the ground bones of slaughtered chicken; this also contributes to the taste. And still, they never taste anything like a hen (as opposed to a chicken) did in the old days! Tastewise, chicken is to 95% nothing but a substrate for the taste of spices. The day I retire, I might start breeding slow-grow chicken/hens in the back yard to get myself some old style hen meat. Same with eggs: The number of eggs per hen has almost tripled since the 1980s. So the same total amount of taste is spread out on three times as many eggs, with one third on each. Two weeks ago I bought myself a (butchered) sheep - I do not want the mild, delicate lamb meat, but something with a firm, strong taste. Something like game. This sheep was of a special "wild" breed, with a double jacket of wool so they can live outdoors through the winter, eating wild grass, shrubs and berries. The meet gets tasty even though the are not fed ground mutton!

Or "spin". Yeah, very likely a way to put a positive light on chickens which aren't free-range. Similarly, some years back KFC was advertising that their chicken parts were now something like a third larger than previously... which I took to mean that they were buying larger, older, tougher chickens and trying to make them sound more desirable.
