Hmm, this is a tricky one.I think, given that you have no alternative and that the food is already prepared - so the chicken have already died for it, throwing it away would be a waste of it's death as well as leaving you without food. If I was in that situation, I can't honestly say how I'd approach the food really. I flat out refuse to eat meat, I'll go hungry and I have done if need be but if it was a situation in which going hungry would be more than a day or so and more like a week? Egh.One thing this does though, inadvertently, I've been pretty hacked off this evening because I found out that the yoghurts I've been eating for a little while now contain gelatine. So I'm pissed that I've been unintentionally eating products from the death of an animal but ultimately there is nothing I can do at this point other than never eating them again. I'm not going to die because it was eaten, I'm not going to have to go to Mecca for cleansing or anything - I just have to remind myself to be more watchful of products that have an ingredients list longer than four words, and add yoghurts to the blacklist. So after a rambly bit there, it puts my conundrum into perspective because I'm not facing a more difficult one such as yourself.

Like I got this one frozen fish dinner and I realized it was a bunch of fish chopped up and squished together to make a patty I freaked out and refused to eat it. I too have gone hungry for the sake of not eating meat (or different fished molded into one lie), but like you said this would be more of a week rather than a day or two.

Yeah, gelatine is the bane of my life. It's in everything under the bloody sun and checking packets for the stuff is now an unconscious habit.It's a tricky thing all the same though, I'm slowly pointing myself towards a fully vegetarian diet and I'm hoping to make the shift in the near future.

Unless you live in the far east, it's not easy to eat a vegetarian diet as a pauper.
I'm basically a pescetarian haha (I'm not against eating other kinds of meat but fish is the only one I really eat more than once in a blue moon >.>)Although, honestly I'd probably take the food, at least while you're in the situation you're in
