CHICKEN - a necessary evil?

"This is the first post of my second blog. Well, this blog is specially created to chronicle the last few years of my "teenage-hood". I will be eighteen this year and yet I feel so inadequate and small. Maybe, I am just lacking in confidence or maybe... Life is always full of maybe-s."

I have been thinking about one particular food lately. It has been making headlines in the media and will be having a substantial impact on human civilisation. Well, I am referring to chicken. Around the world, the avian bird flu has been claiming victims recently. Apparently, my mum is quite nonchalant about the news as my DARLING little sister LOVES to eat chicken. - I cannot imagine how she could stuff herself with chicken for twice or thrice a week!!! I admit that I used to love eating chicken but too much of it has made me rather nauseous eating chicken more than once a week. -

I was thinking that if there was to be a bird flu pandemic (a major worry amongst the great political powers around the world) and chickens and other feathery creatures should be annihilated, what consequences would it have on the human population? Firstly, there would be a major change in our food choices. Look, we would not have EGGS and CHICKEN. - I presume that the chickens in this world are made extinct by the current massive culling movements to prevent the spread of bird flu. - EGGS are the MOST IMPORTANT ingredient for cakes, omelettes, cookies and more...(well, I cannot think of more but I am sure that eggs are rather important in our food intake and one of the most frequently eaten food). CHICKEN, on the other hand, is well-loved by many. We drink chicken soup when we have a cold and relish fried KENTUCKY chicken. I really wonder what would have happened in a world without chicken?

Before I end, I am currently in LOVE with this chinese series " Chinese Paladin" and this is my favourite song. This is taken from www.youtube.com
