Dear Editor:
I am amazed at reports that a woman in Newport News, VA has had trouble sleeping after finding a chicken head in her box of McDonald’s chicken wings. What was this woman thinking? That chicken wings grew on a chicken-wing tree?
The head was only a reality check that the chicken wings are the body parts of an animal that had a face. An animal the experienced pain and suffering, just as we do. An innocent animal condemned to death after a lifetime of imprisonment in a filthy, toxic shed, so that her wings could be served up to a McDonald’s customer.
It’s high time for American consumers to wake up, find out where their food comes from and learn to live with the consequences.
