Well, we've been trying to work out what the hell they actually mean by 'carbon-free'. I mean, it can't literally be 'carbon-free' because, you know, carbon-based lifeform. It could be something to do with food miles, but they've worded it confusingly if so. It could also mean we don't roast our chickens using carbon, again, confusing.
Basically it makes very little sense in English, unless it's a silicon-based life form in which case it's all clear.
But given they mentioned the chickens were organic on another part of the sign I don't think that's the case either. heh.
Perhaps they are the silicon based lifeform's equivalent of organically farmed? But as a carbon based life form, I don't think I fancy it actually... It leads me to assume though, that _they_ ARE among us... *gulp*
