I was walking on Duke's campus when I stopped at the graffiti bridge on East Campus. I saw a picture of a chicken hatching that said friend not omelet. I assume a vegan created this image. Or it could have been a vegetarian. It was someone that doesn't eat eggs or chickens. I eat both eggs and chicken. The image made me think twice about my choice. However, I will continue eating eggs and chicken. Why do you ask? Well, I like them too much. It is hard for me to give up things. Especially food! I love food! Yum!
