That's obviously not the case, they died so people could eat them.
I love meat (in fact I'm wearing
this shirt as I type this), but factory farming is fucked. It's bad for animals
and for humans.
There's a reason we morally object to that sinister looking chicken vacuum in the opening scene. We know that those chickens in that crowded holding cell did not live full chicken lives. They were born in a cage, fattened with corn,
arsenic, and god knows what else, then dumped into that hopper waiting to be scooped up and shot down an assembly line. The result is an inhumane treatment of the animals, and meat that is made mostly of corn and "food byproducts".
I wish we could get back to small scale farming. Where chickens at least have a little fenced pen, and a coop, and real food, and maybe a rooster or two to keep them busy :)
We'd still be whole-sale slaughtering adorable chickens, but at least they'd be happy chickens, and we wouldn't be eating chickens that are
mostly made of corn. Good luck changing the minds of those who pocket
$8.4b per year on the chickens and their eggs in the US alone.

That chicken harvester would be great for
