Can't comment on the arsenic, I'm ignorant of that one but chlorine bleach is added to the feed to make the meat "whiter." Remember the BFM started the campaign when it was determined that white meat was leaner and better for us. Feed used in mass produced chickens also has aspirin in it because of the steroids used to make the chickens grow faster and bigger stresses their hearts? Plus, these chickens are bred to grow faster and bigger. These birds are typically ready for market, from chick to mature bird in about five weeks. A heritage breed of chicken will take about eighty to one hundred days.

Hormones are added to the egg producing chickens because it increases the "urge" to reproduce without a rooster around to take care of that. Same with milk cows without a calf.

Have you seen what the stock looks like? yuck! Makes me want to buy a farm somewhere in the south and grow my own food...

Hello Greg,

So yes, its all about more and more profit. At what point I wonder does it capitalism stop being about a better way of life and instead corporate imperialism of human beings? Ugh...

About 1619, more or less.

About 1619, more or less.

and what that year brought still pervades today without the discrimination criteria of the past.

I live in an area (the south) where chicken farming is strong and where a number of processing plants exist. I've been in both, farms and processing facilities, though to call them farms is certainly a misnomer, they're nothing but a factory, taking in a raw material and producing a finished product to exact standards. Processing plants are nothing more than where the finished product is then disassembled and packaged for the general market.

In former GDR, where the support of the people with more food were a priority by the gouvernment, it was named, like it is:
"Industrial animal-production".

"KOMBINAT INDUSTRIELLE MAST" ("KIM")

When that came up in Yugoslavia (Emona), Hungary and Western Germany (for "Wienerwald"), too, GDR decided to jump on the running train and did it in gigantic sizes. People named it for example "chicken-concentration camp" and so on.

KIM did raise the "Broiler" in 56 days.

Now, on turbo-capitalism, our hated "Wiesenhof" does it in 32 days!

But, today, we Germans are mainly against this absolutely backward-looking madness and often revolting against such enterprises! So, such plants are moving more and more out of Germany, to Netherland or Poland and so on.
Consumption of meat is sinking permanently in Germany.

I grew up in an area which was, prior to the 1980s, the very heart of the New England broiler industry -- it was nothing to see mutilated chickens or chicken body parts lying in the road after falling off the trucks. You always hated getting caught behimd the big flatbeds stacked with the little metal cages where the chickens barely had room to move, and you hated even more going over the Passagassawakeag River bridge, which overlooked the processing plants -- where the water was thick with a floating scum made of rancid chicken fat, feathers, and blood. I knew what death smelled like before I was old enough to walk. What went on inside the plants was even more horrific.

Chicken McNuggets, anyone? haha (ugh)

 

[LizzieMaine]

We were always taught to avoid Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup -- it was said that Campbell's bought up all the diseased cull chickens from the plant. This is probably not entirely true -- even the chicken in soup had to meet minimum USDA standards so far as disease is concerned. But they did buy chicken from the plants, and it's unlikely they paid top dollar for the highest quality birds.

The first & most disturbing realization for me has been.

Finding out who was actually responsible for the toys
under the Christmas tree.


2nd: How babies were made.

My mother used to tell me if we didn't swiften up she'd sell us to the baby oil factory. I never knew if she was kidding or not.
