Baby Legs

If you didn't know, I am a documentary buff. But I rarely watch fun, feel-good docs. I only watch the ones that will freak me out more about life. One doc that I watched was The Corporation which was really informative. It touched on literally everything, and discussed the drugs that are put in beef that supposedly increased production. I don't eat beef anyway, but the whole thing got me to thinking about chicken. Earlier this month, I went to my neighborhood Kroger to buy my usual package of chicken legs and screamed! The legs were so fat and heavy that they looked like legs from a human baby! Every package of chicken was like this. And being the stupid consumer, I bought a pack, but didn't eat any. I kept imagining human babies on a farm being fed chicken feed and being sent to slotter. I am a fatty: a self-admitted junk food junkie. But I am beginning to feel my attitude toward food changing.
