From chicken (Gallus gallus) to Chicken McNugget

Banksy's Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill is a truly remarkable art exhibit that explores our connection with the animals we eat. "I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing," Banksy said in a statement. He must have read Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma which I'm devouring right now. I've never enjoyed a work of non-fiction like this, nor learned so much. Pick up a copy. Below watch 21st century chicks enjoying their meal of bbq dipping sauce.
