1. This has been educational. I always though that chicken farmers were actual farmers selling their own chickens to the market. Didn't realize that most chicken farmers were contract workers that didn't even own the chickens that they were growing.
2. You know the state bird of Delaware, my home state, is the Blue Hen, yet despite this as far as I can tell we're not on that list of representatives. We for what ever reason allowed Florida and New Jersey, the two worse states in the U.S. on, but not the state with A CHICKEN AS IT'S STATE BIRD!
3. This table tastes like chicken.
4. Rather than calling them "chicken f**rs", at the end he should have said,
   "They are part of an elitist oppressive regime who would go to any length to ensure that a perceived inferior race lives a life of virtual slavery without hope of a brighter future, and scare any who would speak out against them into silence. They are
   ...
   the Coo Clucks Clan"
5. And this is why i keep saying that the free market is like a dog. It can do a lot of good for you but you need to put it on a leash.
6. Quit eating chicken, which reduces the demand , which means less chicken farms. Be conscientious about how the poultry industry is supported - cruel treatment of fellow creatures, both chickens and human.
7. The reason people say something "tastes like chicken" is because most of the flavour in may comes from fat, and white meat has little flavour. Along with that, most exotic animals have little fat, so with that low amount of fat, people look for a reference, and chicken is the most popular lean meat.
8. The spokesman was asking a relatively legitimate question....... each state's economic landscape, and pricing, are relatively different compared to each other.
9. Look how wonderfully 'bipartisan' the issue seems to be at the end of the video with all those 'wonderful, outstanding' representatives of ours...
10. So... is there a way to do anything about this if your not a farmer?
11. everybody have a freedom of speech..use it..!
    let's bring those chicken #@*!$@ to their senses...!!
12. WAIT Perdue is part of the chicken industry? I thought they just sold medical heroin they call "Oxycontin"
13. that moment when you reincarnate as a chicken..... at least this won't last long.
14. No people from my state, North Dakota
15. Just go vegan.
16. Unfortunately some of us just physically can't reach those chicken fuckers in America. Would those residing there do the honors and smack them upside the head like the chicken shit they are?
17. United States of slaves.
18. "The noes seem to have it" is fucked up. Why the hell are they not just counting the votes??
19. somebody tell me which of the reps are proven chicken fuckers I'm feeling lazy
20. vegan chuckle
