Exactly; it was a study to see if people can differentiate between something that's morally reprehensible, and something that's just gross. A similar question asked if it was wrong of a brother and sister to have had sex if they were well protected and both felt that the experience had strengthened their relationship.

As for the chicken thing, I think it's only wrong if he serves it to anyone else, because it then poses the potential to cause them psychological harm if they were to ever find out.
