      Ha yes! The chickens that we eat are not the chickens that I have studied. The ones that I have studied is the red junglefowl and is endangered in places like Singapore. The red junglefowl is the ancestor of all chickens, including those we eat.

      Yes, I eat chickens. And other meat too. Humans are animals. We do what we need to do to survive, while making sure there’s enough left to survive tomorrow too – that’s why we did so well when we stopped hunter-gathering and started to farm.
