#2Before anyone says ML: what we need is sexing of early stage embryos.

#3So obviously everyone reading this is going to go away and spawn and computer vision startup, and it turns out much progress has already been made[0][1], including prediction sex before hatching[2].

#4Calling it an art does not make it less cruel. That something is lucrative does not mean it's nice (ask slavery victims). Please consider not buying animal products, you can easily do without it. Thank you.

My family eats meat[1] in general yet has had no trouble avoiding chicken[2] specifically.
[1] Dairy farmers maximising milk output for feed input is why there is veal.
(Confining veal calves is illegal here, and labelling is enforced to the point that even restaurant waiters must be able to tell you the provenance of their meats.)
[2] We do occasionally take free range eggs.

With so many replacements products, it has never been easier. A replacement is at hand within a few meters of the animal derived product in most modern supermarkets. Also, Youtube is full of inspiration of how to replace any animal derived product. It's never been easier.
I think its more the will, than the ability, that's needed. And if someone considers some products "too hard to switch away from" then, just keep buying that one and skip the others.
Dont like cruelty to animals? Then stop buying it. It's that simple.

What I'm saying is, it's really easy for me to boil a dozen eggs, grill some chicken bits, and boil half a pack of brown rice or quinoa. A week's worth of food, the caloric density is astounding. I then only need to make salads or play with frozen veggies.
All of this is really cheap and quick to make. Almond/coconut/soy milk costs nearly three times as much as cow's milk in my country, and the substitute 'meats' are hard to find outside supermarkets. Veganism here might as well be money laundering. To my knowledge, beyond burgers and such food is still pricey in the USA as well, for instance.
I'm just pointing out what makes me consider vegetarianism or veganism is eating more food, better food, for less money, and less pretentious heat treatment. I'm not finding it right now. Hopeful for the future, though.

#10I have a friend who's working as a chicken sexer. From what I understand they don't teach how to do this anywhere in Europe, so they get people from the asian countries that do to emigrate and basically hold them hostage with temporary worker visas...
