\danger The |\halign| command also makes it possible for you to adjust
the spacing between columns so that a table will fill a specified area.
You don't have to decide that the ↑{inter-column space} is a quad; you can

because \TeX\ puts ``↑{tabskip glue}'' between columns. This tabskip glue
is usually zero, but you can set it to any value you like by saying
`↑|\tabskip||=|\<glue>'. For example,
let's do the poultry table again, but with the beginning of the
specification changed as follows:
