Chicken, union; that's a good start. As for the chickens' wellbeing, it has no reason to complain 
It is better of than most wild animals, for whom life is a daily struggle to survive, who don't get to see a vet, that sleep without a roof between predators.

eat a cow
chicken can feed what, 6 people (with veg etc).
according to quora a cow is good for 860 meals, so it's 143 times less cruel (or more economical).

Thanks for the tip, I think I will choose for "Zuur vlees" (sour meat) in the restaurant in Limburg where we plan to have dinner tomorrow

That should not be made from cow, but from horse.

Cow isn't a very good choice; it falls apart too quick because it is usually too tender for the amount of vinegar. A rabbit would not be zuurvlees, but sweet/sour rabbit - the Dutch sweet/sour rabbit recipe is from the middle ages.
If you have a rabbit, you prepare it whole, not cubed like a decent zuurvlees has. And no, "peperkoek" is not an ingredient for either, that's only for heretics.

Cow is used for those wino's that don't eat horses (so-called noble animals). It is put in vinegar because horse, while cheap, is also a very though meat and needs to tenderize. It is then sweetened to make it palatable. It as an old way to use a lesser meat, and still achieve something nice.

You won't notice much of the maillard-reaction, so I skip this step.
Kruidnagel en laurierblad toevoegen bij kookvocht. 4 lepels GOEDE appelstroop, 4 DIKKE uien, 1 lepel honing. Laurierblaadjes eruit vissen, binden, klaar. Als er veel kinderen zijn maak je het nog wat zoeter, werkt altijd.

Usually the Onion writes satirical pieces. This one is too close to the truth. 
Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.

Or seen from the other side: Sometimes reality moves fairly close to the satirical version.
The Onion does the balancing between the two with impressing finesse!

I'm not sure I've ever seen a discussion on this topic here in the lounge. We're all developers here, so this is probably the best group I can think of to ask:
What's a great developer chair? Sitting in a chair facing a bunch of monitors for 8, 12 or 14 hours a day is not atypical for me.
I thought I had found a good one for a great price from Staples a few years back, but the cushion got flattened ever so gradually over time that I never noticed until my back started hurting--permanently--and realized I was sitting on what felt like a piece of plywood. I got rid of it, but don't feel like my back's ever fully recuperated from that.
Other than the standard "get a standing desk" or "move around every X minutes" advice, could I get some actual chair recommendations? At this point in my career I'm thinking money's no object, so while I could probably justify spending thousands for whatever-that-brand-was, I'd like to hear some first-hand (first-back? first-butt?) opinions from those who have used those expensive (and lesser) chairs.

I tend to split my day between a standing "desk" (aka: pile of boxes on a table) and a Mirra[^]. I'm pretty happy with that chair. Adjustable enough to fit my short legs, and it keeps my back relatively happy.

CP SKU:: 273597
No delaminating upholstry, no raw chrome flaking, no sagging material stuffed into poorly anchored frame seam flange, no dislocating coasters, no need for a rug/floor mat. This list is not exhaustive.
Get it where you can get it.
It's even got a seat elevation adjustment device which deploys cable/caliper technology.

Just like real developers use x-window instead of windows, real developers use x-chairs!

One of the more interesting responses so far. Thanks!

I find that getting up and walking around every time I see something stupid in code works, unfortunately my knees are starting to hurt and my shoes wear out quite frequently.

My experience has been that money is not a factor when buying chairs - sometimes the cheapest chairs have been the best, for home I use a piano stool when coding - at work a firm back support, that can be angled and raised/lowered, with arm rests are perhaps the most important features for me.
Outside of that a brisk 20 minute walk midday, as well as standing up and moving very hour, makes a huge difference for me.

We have chairs from Haworth[^]. It is company standard, so not much to be influenced here, but they are good.

Good chairs are usually very expensive, and thus, I don't get to use good chairs. I have a decent $99 (on sale) black pivot chair with some lumbar support from Office Depot. Got it about 3 year's ago, and it is doing fine.
I work from my home office, so no one gets to steal it....well, except for my cat. He steals it from time to time.
