Lately, every time I eat chicken, I do not feel very well. I tend to eat it only when I really miss it. My own consumption has dropped down to about 1 pound per month.
I have heard of people who have started to feed chicken outdoors and exclusively with scrap and absolutely no grains. I find it a good idea.
I do think that grains are bad for consumption. I do not find it natural to consume grains.
Plants are using grains to procreate. Would you have the best protection for your children? I know I would, and I suspect that plants have also put some special poisons in seeds to protect them.
This article have good information about the chicken industry.
>>> “Chicken consumption exploded. In the mid-1920s the average American ate about 14 pounds per year. Between 1976 and 1989 per capita consumption rose by 50 percent. By 1980 that average American was eating roughly 35 pounds of chicken per year. By 1995: more than 50 pounds. 2001: 82 pounds. In 2016, according to the USDA, it was up to nearly 92 pounds.”
