(Not) Eating Chicken with Thoreau

On a brighter note than the aforementioned lobster nonsense, in Vermont, you can eat chicken and break the law at the same time. If you've tried, you know that there are any number of regulations that make it hard to use local meat, and this event intended to address this issue.  Sadly, the planned civil disobedience was derailed by an injunction, and no chicken was actually served. I'm not buying the win-win language in the update, or this assertion:
Some may think because the chicken will not be served, the event has not been successful.  That could not be farther from the truth.
Still, as they point out, if it gets the ball rolling, it is to the good. However, clip and save this handy copy of Civil Disobedience. If I recall Thoreau and MLK's approaches correctly, getting your ass thrown in jail was the whole point.
