It is an aneurism in the food chain.
Chicken wire was invented to isolate chicken from fox, so the chicken could become abnormally fat and soft, leading to an easier meal for the human, who (coincidentally?) becomes fat and soft, in turn increasing demand for fatter and softer chickens, unitl a man named Frank Purdue, who (coincidentally?) looks like a chicken, starts cranking out steriod bloated, hormonally intoxicated chicken units at an unheard of rate.
We fear hunger, and use Chicken Wire to wrap the object of our appetite into a food assembly line. Through it we create the ultimate predatorial beauracracy: animals wait in line to be slaughtered; humans wait in line to eat "Chicken McNuggets".
