In their short animation video entitled 'Chicken or the Egg,' students Christine Kim and Elaine Wu from Ringling College of Art and Design portray a pig who has to choose between his two loves, [a chicken or eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-egg-pastureraised-eggs).

Sitting at a diner enjoying his daily [egg-filled breakfast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-happy-egg-co-omelettes), the pig falls madly in love with a chicken. Their relationship flourishes and suddenly, the pig is faced with the difficult decision of choosing between the woman of his dreams or his favorite food, a dilemma that challenges his moral ethics as well as his will power.

As we watch the debate over chicken or eggs, this video imparts important lessons about self-indulgence and the consideration of other people's feelings that we sometimes overlook.
