Farms: Ruffling Feathers: Farmers reveal secrets of chicken meat trade in America
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Chicken farms in the US are notoriously hard to access if you're not involved in the industry. But one American farmer, contracted to a meat processing company, has thrown open the barn doors. He claims firms routinely mislead customers about the conditions the birds are reared in and their health. Maria Finoshina went to meet him.

0:23 'the birds are... ??'. What he's saying after was censored? It's probably worst than the rest of what he is exposing. Remember folks, our world is controlled by a small group of psychopath that want to exterminate most of the population so as to keep control over them. Neurotoxins are use in our water, food, medications, vaccines, in the air we breathe (fluoride, mercury, aluminum, etc). These guys are pulling the ropes in every aspects our of daily lives. They want us to be sick and die slow so we won't know what is happening until its too late. Fluoride just been (finally) declared as been a neurotoxic (we knew that from the 2nd world war).. are they going to remove it from pur water now? Why is it still being put in our toothpaste? PS: The FDA has recently put out a law that dental paste containing fluoride had a poison sticker on them but we keep producing the damn thing. The agenda continues..

There's no way to escape the government. I've been interested in the topic of government for a good 2 years and no matter how awful the things a find are there's always something worse. This video hardly scrapes the surface. Your life is controlled by them and there lives are controlled by higher powers. It's easier to give in and be normal

-

We raise the same kind of meat bird, only we use a chicken tractor (movable pen) that gets moved often to fresh ground. The birds are eating machines and build up excrement really fast, I cannot imagine raising them on one floor for their entire adult life as they do in factory farms like the one in the video. Beyond nasty from a health perspective, and horribly cruel from a humane standpoint.
Near the end of their lives, we move them every single day, to do anything else would be to let them live in filth.
Ours are fed an all natural, organic diet supplemented with fresh grass and greens. They still mature out in 8-9 weeks with gorgeous meat, each bird weighs about 6 pounds or so dressed and gives off about 1 cup of broth when roasted. We raise about 25 of them in late summer (they do better if grown to maturity in fall when days are cooler, the hot summer is rough on them) and freeze and eat them all year. One bird feeds us for two dinners, one as roasted, one as pot pie or casserole, they're that big.
They are a cinch to raise, as long as you are willing to care for them properly. If more people knew how good they tasted and how easy they are to raise yourself, they'd never eat the horrible CAFO grocery store chicken again. -
What got muted at like :24?
-
what was the last question asked ???
-
dont reveal it! let the meat eaters die!
-
The industry is disgusting, but this guy really didn't reveal anything. If he is saying that they are giving the birds drugs even though it's illegal, why couldn't he either say what drug or show us any evidence?
-
The only bad thing he said is "pharmaceutical" , but we already new that.
-
This is why people need to do their own due diligence. FDA/USDA gives consumers a false sense of security, and as this farmer testifies they are in actuality just part of the corporate-bought-system that allows bureaucrats to get paid for doing nothing. Eliminate the food "regulators" and we will likely see the spawn of true regulation that comes from consumers and is for consumers, not from corporate cronies for the benefit of big business.

Glad I kill my own roosters, if I had it my way, that would be the only meat i'd eat.
-
Damn! American chicken is basically the only chicken available in the Iraqi market! They are drowning us in it! I'd like to say that I'll stop eating it after watching this report and similar reports, but I'd be lying! Because local chicken and red meat prices are back breaking here! I just hope the "Halal" written on it is true, and not like the "raised cage free" stuff!
