Do chickens have personalities?  If so, should we be eating them?

Is not personality synonymous with flavor? 

 Not necessarily.  Everybody always wants the fattest cows, pigs, and chickens for their food, and being more fat would probably make them sluggish, therefor decreasing personality but increasing taste, so by this train of thought personality is inversely proportional to flavor.

                         VINCENT
                              (to Jules, who's
                              nursing his coffee)
                         Want a sausage?

                                     JULES
                         Naw, I don't eat pork.

                                     VINCENT
                         Are you Jewish?

                                     JULES
                         I ain't Jewish man, I just don't dig
                         on swine.

                                     VINCENT
                         Why not?

                                     JULES
                         They're filthy animals. I don't eat
                         filthy animals.

                                     VINCENT
                         Sausages taste good. Pork chops taste
                         good.

                                     JULES
                         A sewer rat may taste like pumpkin
                         pie.  I'll never know 'cause even if
                         it did, I wouldn't eat the filthy
                         motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in
                         shit. That's a filthy animal. I don't
                         wanna eat nothin' that ain't got
                         enough sense to disregard its own
                         feces.

                                     VINCENT
                         How about dogs? Dogs eat their own
                         feces.

                                     JULES
                         I don't eat dog either.

                                     VINCENT
                         Yes, but do you consider a dog to be
                         a filthy animal?

                                     JULES
                         I wouldn't go so far as to call a
                         dog filthy, but they're definitely
                         dirty. But a dog's got personality.
                         And personality goes a long way.

                                     VINCENT
                         So by that rationale, if a pig had a
                         better personality, he's cease to be
                         a filthy animal?

                                     JULES
                         We'd have to be talkin' 'bout one
                         motherfuckin' charmin' pig. It'd
                         have to be the Cary Grant of pigs.
