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.

(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.
