Linda’s comment: I have a friend who drives truck from the east coast to the west coast and recently I got a telephone call from her. She told me that she would NEVER EVER roll her eyes at me when I talk about “free range”, organic feed, and how the chickens are killed and processed.
They had to pick up a delivery of processed chickens, (they drive refrigerated trucks) and the rot and smell were more than she could take. She said many of the chicken in the confined cages had no feathers on their wings. She thought it was because the cages they were kept in were so small that they could not flap their wings. They picked up their load then delivered it to a place that the smell of rot was so bad she puked. She has sworn off any chicken or eggs that don’t come from free range and organic fed. Of course I was doing a happy dance that two more people saw the light!! In the following article it doesn’t surprise me how sick our farmers are from managing chickens and pigs in such nasty conditions. What has this world come to?? Continued
