Chickens whose sole purpose are to be bred and slaughtered within three to four weeks of their lives.
If someone wants a chicken sandwich give them a cleaver and tell them to slaughter the chicken. A quarter pounder with cheese? At least be made to watch a video while they wait for their order of how the cattle live and are slaughtered. That'll cut down on the cow populations and flatulence.

Well that would work for us, we have plenty of empty pastures and it would not be below us to smuggle prohibited meat products into the west. All the sweet sweet profit from fillet meats being sold at underground prohibition era steakhouses. MMMMMM
Plus as a hunter I doubt that people couldn't overcome aversion to slaughter, it would be mostly an inconvenience due to the lack of division of labour and economies of scale that the modern economy is built on.
