I also read the article on the chicken cull, petr -- and unless business returns to nature, rather than "manufactured" chickens in fowl factories, I fear that we are in for even more deadly diseases. I only buy organic chicken (and not often, because of price). If organic chicken farming is destroyed by big business, I will stop buying chicken altogether.

By the way, do you have a link for that New Yorker article on height? Is it online? That's fascinating!
