Fwiw there’s a lot of vegans who chose their stance because of how the animals are treated.

I’m not vegan but it is rather terrible. It’s beginning to affect the food, too. Ever notice that a lot of chicken has the grainy/woody issue nowadays? That’s caused by the chickens growing too large too fast. Their muscles experience a lot of stress and inflammation, quite often becoming so large they literally rip off of the bones.

If you want good chicken, go to a butcher or buy air-chilled.
