Chicken Quotes - page 8
I was just always really into having pets and felt a real connection with animals, and I guess as I became aware ... from where it was coming to my plate it's just I couldn't eat it-it was disgusting. I stopped eating read meat ... but I still ate chicken for a long time, and we were on tour and saw a chicken truck go by with these chickens that were just bleeding-it was just disgusting. And that was it. I haven't had a piece of it since. ... We're not actually born ready to eat meat, it's something you have to develop and it's not something that you need to develop. The issue with the whole thing is just education and information. You know, most people don't think about it.

Animals themselves cannot plead their cause, and those who plead it for them have no obvious financial or other selfish interest in the issue, although many may have "vested” their emotions in it. When we turn to special gain from maintaining existing practices, special loss if they were to be changed, we find a large number of groups whose views might be discounted. Butchers, furriers, hunters, cattlemen, chicken farmers, scientific experimenters on animals would, unless compensated, all have to suffer significant personal loss if we were to change our practices. They cannot therefore be expected to see the moral issue without the distortion of special interest. The scientists might claim that in their case their own interest coincides with a universal human interest, but I think the butcher and the furrier could make a similar claim[. ].

I became a vegetarian at 15. I was never a big meat eater - I was always picky. I was raised in a kosher home, and if you're raised with a food restriction, it's not that difficult to have another kind of food restriction. ... At some point, I had a dream that I was eating chicken. But in the dream, I understood that it was actually miniature human legs and arms. My brain was connecting muscle and bone to another animal. Once I had made that connection, it just wasn't something I wanted to eat.

It was my sophomore year at Yale, going through the food line for dinner, and I wanted a chicken breast, but the way they put it on my plate – all of a sudden it reminded me of my mom's dog – and at that moment I was instantly on the outside of the food chain. I just couldn't be a part of it. It was very personal to me in an instant, all because of a big breast of chicken that was oddly plated and slightly pink and I couldn't do it. At first all I could think to eat was peanut butter and bread, so I put on a bunch of weight, but over the years it's gotten a lot easier because people are much hipper to the fact that a plant based lifestyle is healthier for us. So it's gotten so easy and so delicious to be vegan.

I cook a little bit. I make a Hungarian dish called chicken paprikash that's out of this world. I'll give a heads-up to all of your readers that it doesn't have to be between Thai and Mexican every night. Toss some Hungarian in every once in a while. You will not be sorry. Good, solid peasant food.
