chickens chicken fat Perdue Virginian Pilot
How sick is this:
According to The Virginian Pilot, "A Perdue truck spilled chicken fat along a 20-mile stretch of U.S. 13 this morning causing several crashes and a big, smelly mess."
Just imagining what a stench like that must be like makes me want to gag.
Apparently the driver didn't properly secure his load and leaked on the highway for 20 miles. The article states:
"One car hit a utility pole and the driver had to be taken to a hospital, Bunting said. At least three other vehicles crashed, but no one involved suffered life-threatening injuries. Other drivers probably skidded or went spinning on the slippery fat, then went on their way, he added."
So basically now not only is the chicken industry bad for chickens, bad for the environment, and bad for your health, it can be dangerous to your morning commute.
Ugh. I just had vegan chicken salad for lunch and am so much more glad it wasn’t the real thing, or I think my co-workers would have had to deal with some real gags from me.
Who is as happy as I am that they don't eat chickens?
