  Indeed. I prefer my chicken be psychokinetically separated. ;^) I'm
yanking your chain John and I do see your point, but the fact of the matter
is a LOT of chicken gets processed in this country and there just aren't
that many people who want to manually cut up chicken all day for a living.
More to the point I'm less concerned how a chicken carcass is reduced to
pieces than I am about the antibiotics and god-knows-what-else that was put
into the chicken before slaughter. And when I do eat chicken pieces, I eat
them at home and not at a fast food restaurant.
