According to Mercy for Animals, male chicks are of no use to the industry because they can't lay eggs and don't grow large or quickly enough to be raised profitably for meat. That results in the killing of 200 million male chicks a year. This page includes a video of male chicks being thrown into a grinding machine while still alive. I don't recommend watching the video.

You have really put your passion into your diet and lifestyle.
We, too, do not preach nor advocate what people put into (and hence 'onto') their bodies.
We keep it simple - find out what's good, try to make it palatable, and consume in moderation. Because we grew up with a huge ray gun picture tube in our faces telling us about eating for flavor and fun - we developed our craving for fried, sweet, rich, and good-looking food.
Teaching old dogs new tricks is a challenge with decade upon decade of
eating poorly.
Yes, we do sometimes get frustrated that the greed of some is responsible for the sickness of others - but the good news is that as adults we can make choices about our intake'
We choose to make the choice of food based upon value, simplicity, so we stay fiscally and physically fit.
While we are part time indulgers ourselves, we consider those times 'feasts' as outlined by Dr John McDougall and Paavo Airola

We're also noticing that with a healthy diet we can function better as we mature. We can get farther on the bikes with less effort, and the mind and body seem to stay better tuned.We are also noticing that we are able to live with less climate control.
And while we realize that sleep is most essential, the healthier diets are working so well we are cheating a little off the sack time with no negative effects.
That gives us more 'awake time' in the Friendly Hometown when there.
Here's something a well-wisher recently forwarded to us, thinking we had both completely gone off animal food, but there are some 'food that had eyes' in the diet
