    If you saw the misshapen horror of a bird that produced a single 2-pound chicken breast at $0.89 per pound, you wouldn’t want to eat it. The amount of growth hormone and antibiotics crammed into these miserable animals is astounding. They have cysts. Open wounds. Broken legs and bald patches.

    Every time I see it on sale at the grocery store, I grit my teeth.

      and you also have to becareful what the description say on how its raise. like cage free, free range this can still be crammed inside a building next other dead birds. you have to look for pasture raised, garden raised.

      Yep. To make things worse, Its actually unhealthy for that breed to live past market weight. They’ll get so heavy they can’t walk anymore and will also devolp all sorts of health problems even if they’re free ranged. A sad state of being.
