When God Blesses Us Does He Curse the Chicken?

People all over the world thank God for the food they eat. People all the worldover fail to understand God had nothing to do with their having something to eat. To believe God is blessing them with something to eat is to believe God is cursing the billion people worldwide who do not have enough to eat; that God has cursed the twenty-five thousand who starve to death today.

 

Food insecurity is a term meaning "going without something to eat for days; to fear starvation." The term is becoming more familiar and will become even more familiar world wide and in the United States.

 

A "cage-free, organic" chicken farm will sort and wash four thousand eggs an hour. One cage-free barn will hold fourteen thousand chickens. They feed from pneumatic shoots; they drink from hydraulic nozzles, and defecate on the floor. Each corner of the barn contains an electrical device that delivers a shock to discourage the chickens from roosting in the corner. In a barn with fourteen thousand chickens they will suffocate themselves trying to roost together.

 

During their 9-month lifetime they will never see the light of day, feel the wind, or have a moment's rest or security.

 

Apparently this is how God blesses us with a chicken dinner.
