And still, a stunning number just nod and say, "Oh, okay."
One of my farmer friends was at a market in NYC and a woman asked her what the chickens ate. The farmer told her "Grain, oyster shells, and they run around and eat a lot of insects and grubs."
The woman freaked out "You let them eat insects? That's disgusting."
"Well, they're chickens, that's what birds eat. Insects."
The woman shot back, "Chickens aren't birds. What's wrong with you?" and she stormed off.
