The history of chickens

Alex and I were watching a show on the history of chickens, which was pretty entertaining, weaving funny bits about eccentric pet chicken owners to the horrors of chicken farms.  At one point they showed chicks hatching from eggs and going to the chicken farm and Alex, in a worried tone asks me "What's going to happen to those chicks Mama?"  I did what I always do when I don't want to go into a particular subject on the fly and asked him what he thought was going to happen.

"They're going to be chicken nuggets?" he asked me. 
"How do you feel about that?" I asked him. 
"Hungry" he says matter of factly. 

I guess he won't be joining PETA any time soon.
