Although a properly made rooster stew is quite tasty (coq au vin being the most famous example).
Though frequently it wasn't a rooster, and instead a hen that had gotten too old for laying eggs.

So, it’s equally as unreasonable to be a science believing deist as it is to a Taliban member?
Sounds like a very unreasonable system of analysis if you ask me haha. Maybe belief and being a reasonable person isn’t that black and white and everyone does in some way believe in systems that aren’t exactly real. Economics assumes everyone’s a rational actor, and that’s not true at all. Yet we still find utility in economics.
