Food Network celebrity Alton Brown dissects the topic of sustainability

Contra Costa Times - Walnut Creek,CA,USA - FOR ALTON BROWN, it all started with a chicken. At a family meal in a New York City restaurant, his then-5-year-old daughter ordered the half roast chicken.

"When it arrived, she looked at the chicken, then looked up at me and said 'Chicken is chicken.' She was just now putting this together," the Food Network personality recalls. "I thought, 'Oh, (expletive). What's gonna happen now?'" Brown explained to his daughter that someone had raised the chicken and killed it so that she could eat it.
