    SuperBowl Sunday is a bad day to be a chicken. But so is any day. On average, Americans consume a million chickens per hour.

        Farm animals also produce seven million pounds of excrement every minute. We're killing ourselves, and the environment.

        No, I don't believe he is. Which seems strange considering how smart he is, and how damaging animal agriculture is.

        also, I see nothing wrong with scavenging leather from a cow or other animal after it is dead

        I used to think that too. I researched and found the truth shocking, though.

        Exactly! We're led to believe it's natural, but the more you know the less natural it becomes.
