Poor chickens are fed in an uncontrolled fashion. The ones marketed as organic are better but still I am still skeptic that its completely natural. But how can it stop? It's much cheaper and affordable for bigger families


I'd be interested in reading about pork production. I'd guess that large scale industrial hog farms probably have similar problems.

I think beef is going the same way. When I was a kid, about 50 years ago, someone I knew raised beef cattle. These cows wandered around in fields all day for over a year. They slept in the barn at night. I think the word "pastoral" fit perfectly. Then the cattle were shipped off to be fattened up in feedlots shortly before they were killed. But now the same industrial farming practices are also coming to beef. Or have they already come?
