You guy's obviously didn't see the story about China's 350 million middle class workers on Foriegn Correspndence a few weeks back. Designer clothes, BMW's, big houses, high rise luxury apartments. I guess it must of been brought with chicken feed eh'

I think your getting a lil mixed up between lower class and middle class

Never seen a chicken do anything except lay an egg and look good based in honey at 300c in the oven lol, perhaps your experience is different
