It might be an easy life for chickens residing inside Minecraft, but as for chickens in real life, specifically, those in the U.S., are having quite a tough life. The reason: composing up to 99% of the total amount of land animals slaughtered for food, chickens everywhere are having a tough life being bred and prematurely slain for industrial purposes. I mean, it's an inevitable fact that animals WILL get killed for food, but shouldn't their demises be at least made relatively painless? Well, not according to McDonald's, that is. Same for KFC. Yeah, yeah, we know, they inject their animals with crazy chemicals and stuff 'em into cages. It's all over the Internet. I suppose it's common knowledge that many fast food chains and manufacturers tend to mistreat their livestock for their own personal gain, but instead, think from the animal's perspective. They too are alive. They breathe, they feel, and they're perfectly conscious of what's going on around. Like us, they too feel pain. Really - what's the difference between us and them, apart from that we're large and in charge?
It's outrageous, isn't it? Born a couple of weeks and already stuffed in suffocating crates, chucked around and being plopped onto conveyor belts, treated like obscene garbage. What have they done to DESERVE this treatment? God may have permitted man to feast on animals after the Great Flood, but He probably wouldn't have wanted for them to be mistreated so obscenely. They too are His creations. After Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea, God's Angels wanted to celebrate for their escape - but God was angry. "How can you sing as the works of my hand are drowning in the sea?”
This is exactly why we shouldn't purchase food from selfish, pitiless food producers and manufacturers like McDonald's and KFC. Animals aren't our playthings. They aren't our toys. They are alive. Take action, and oppose to this obscene brutality.

Additionally, the cookie dough thing was an E.coli outbreak that resulted in a few product recalls. If the issue were as simple as people defecating in fields the problem would not be nearly as large as it is. Or maybe it would. If people were able to get into our food supply that easily then we're all gonna die. As it stands there's plenty of potential issues with flour but it's common knowledge that cookie dough can cause serious health issues when ingested (salmonella, anyone?) primarily because of the raw eggs involved. Now, with the recent outbreak, the potentially infected flour overshadows it.
Regardless, I generally don't think the argument that "THIS is more important, so talking about that issue is bad/worthless" holds up very well. There are many important problems in the world and without people interested in solving these problems they will never be fixed. If someone is interested or passionate about an issue, that's a good thing which should be encouraged if anything. If we all focused on the biggest possible issue the entirety of humanity would probably be researching a way to decrease entropy in an isolated system and then we'd all die because not enough people cared about the smaller things.
