Chances are that the chicken you bought at the super market is contaminated with all sorts of diseases and chemicals with names you can't pronounce. They were grown in filthy in crowded contaminated chicken coups and fed hormone antibiotic laced feed to make them bigger faster with more white meat.
These chicken houses are the length of a football field and crammed with hundreds and hundreds of chickens. Most are owned by small operators (rural residents) who sell their chickens to large corporate conglomerates who dictate the price, the feed
and the terms, so most can't afford to deviate from prescribed methods. Almost gone is the poultry and eggs raised by the small farmer's wife who let their flock roam free and peck at rocks, etc.
A recent test of store bought chickens involving multi states and multi stores found 14% of the birds had salmonella infections. They were not tested for drug and other chemical contamination.
An unfortunate result of unfettered capitalism. We cannot blame these corporations specializing in food products for trying to become more efficient and produce products at a lower cost than their competitors.
The answer is for each of us to be informed about this manufactured food and to seek out sources of natural raised animals. Free range poultry and pork and beef raised on grass , then penned up behind the barn and fattened with home grown corn and wheat.
Unless the reader is completely turned off with the subject, the movie Food, Inc. is
recommended viewing.
With Love and Kindness,
THE HATMAN
