Her 16 year old sister (my daughter Michelle) hasn't eaten meat in a year and a half.

Mostly with a machine that looks like a Bobcat thats been modified to have soft rubber fingers, like a street sweeper sort of. But it's also still done by hand and it's a lot faster than you might imagine. But from birth to fying pan the treatment is largely humane, a happy, well cared for chicken is what you want.
I work in the corporate offices but in your first year of employment you usually get a "tour" of a processing plant. Believe me, if you like chicken you'll want to skip the tour. I was off meat eating for a good 8 - 10 hours after that. Really.
Next time you have Cornish Hens I'd love to hear the story from that table side chat, LOL. (they're just "younger" by the way)
Good story,
Bill
