"Yeah but how does it taste?"

The best chicken I ever tasted was when I was cowboying on a ranch in central Nevada and the owners showed up one day with about 80 Cornish-cross chicks. We raised those little guys and butchered them and they went in the freezer clean weighing about 4.5 lbs...I still remember those chickens as the best I've ever eaten.

Man, isn't modern farming great! That "meat" chicken is easily twice the size of the "egg-layer". Imagine what we will have if we can get the genetic luddites of our backs and breath new life agricultural advancement.

I guarantee you that the descendants of these chicks will be around longer than those that don't grow as fast. They are "fit" indeed!
