Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[Jennsbirds]

Big Ag wants no such thing. The only veil over food production is blinders. Self imposed.

That makes a lot more sense. Before this post I wondered 'what in the heck have I been teaching kids, then?'

Really gross them out and tell them that a chicken laying an unfertilized  egg is like a woman having that time of the month only the chickens is in a shell. Then ask how many they would like with their hash... also inform them that the store bought eggs are scientifically no different.

Oh puleeeze don't do that. My 14 year old and I had that conversation only the other day because some idiot at school had told her the same thing lol

Uh no, one is the lining of a uterus and one doesn't have a uterus. For a while there though it didn't look like she was ever eating eggs again.

My Mom would have let me starve if I was dumb enough to refuse food. Why is it okay to be so out of touch with where your food comes from? No wonder this world is so messed up.

same here unless my parents thought we where allergic to it, or somehow were sick or got food poisoning and literally could not eat it because of the memory of eating whatever would literally make us ill.

Funny, I grew up not knowing but wanting to, the more I learned about the treatment of the animals the less I wanted to eat them. The whole reason I have chickens is because the idea of battery chicken laying sickens me now. If the animals are treated well I have no ethical issues.

OMG, I was telling a lady at work the other day that I'll be getting chickens this summer and plan to have lots and lots of eggs. I told her I'd bring some in for her so that she can taste how much better they are.

Know what she said?

Her: "Oh my GAWD, eeeeeewwwwww, I could never eat those eggs!"

Me: "Ummmm, why not?

Her: "Well, BECAUSE, they came out of a chicken's butt!"

Me: "Ummmmm. Huh? You eat eggs from the store, right?"

Her: "Well, yeah, of COURSE, but that's different!"

Me: "How is that different? Those eggs also came out of a chicken."

Her: "But those are all sanitary and come in a box."

Me: "I'll wash my eggs and box them for you too."

Her: "Blech, no way. I could never eat eggs from your chickens. That's just gross."

Me: "***?"
