Standing at the meat cooler, reading the labels on the packages of whole chicken.
Ultimately I just couldn't stomach buying any.
Maybe it's the current job hunt, but I felt too much like one of the unfortunate chickens. You know, raised in a factory farm city, trained in factory farm schools, catching a glimpse of the exploitative system through clear plastic wrap as I lie in the job market, labeled for sale.
Do toots like this guarantee I'll be placed in the bargain bin?

@filkerdave 😂
I look for packages that include the giblets, to go in baked dressing.
The labeling also described the chicken's feed and quality of its brief life. You know, things like "natural grain feed" and "free range".
Like I'm free-range, too, I guess, I can go where I want, if I can afford the fuel or fare to get me there. But that doesn't mean I'm not still trapped and doomed.
