Anyway This may be a good time to have the wife start expeimenting with Tofu.........

Ever been in one? Reading an expose in the Sunday papers sure speaks the truth. I've been in quite a few chicken complexes when I was with my former employer. I think they're a bunch of back-woods idjuts, BUT, chicken factories are clean. I don't care what the papers say, they are clean. The only part of the factory that is somewhat quesy to be in is at the automatic neck slitters, but even that area is sanitized by the hour and is clean and sanitary. Before that is very peaceful for the birds. After that, its a big, clean USDA inspected butcher shop, mostly done automatically with machines. If you don't like butchering animals, you won't like ANY animal processing facility. But you can not claim they are not clean. They are, in fact, almost spotless. I've worked in a large bakery as well - now that's messy - flour and ingredients everywhere.
Please don't start posting why we should be vegans - you can be what you want to be and so can I. I can't change your mind, you can't change mine. But I am not a liar or a deceiver, if I thought the chicken factories I vistted were bad, I would say so.
