if you live close to the Amish it's not much if any more expensive. If you're buying as a tourist, rather than a local, it can get spendy.

Naw, we could feed the world, not gruel or soylent either, good shit. The fly in the ointment is they can't afford to pay for it. Were no more benevolent with the third world than we are with chickens.

I'm in the screw the cost this is how I eat camp.
I've eaten much more meat in the six weeks since I found out I was going to have to move, because I've been cooking for Mum & Dad. I'm close to being vegetarian when I'm on my own.

As far as I am aware, all of the meat I eat is farmed responsibly.
Eating misery is bound to make you miserable.
I feel terrible wasting any food, but I feel worst of all when we have to bin rotisserie chickens that have been on display for four hours. It's the law. But I hate it because that was a life and because that's pretty much a meal for a family just being discarded. I want to sell them for 1p, just so they're not wasted, but that devalues the brand. Apparently.

Braised pigs cheeks in cider tonight.
Which I will eat with a clear conscience.

I can get local chickens from farmers around her for $3/# that are free range. Sens like a lot to pay for a CAFO chicken.

I'll regret this, I just know I'll regret this, but...Why would you tour a poultry processing plant, knowing you weren't gonna like it?

Got it in one, V. I didn't have a choice. Sorry to have neglected this thread; work is a little crazy until after I give a presentation tomorrow. And my clumsy thumbs make posting from my phone a trial.

Pilgrim Corp takes the cake.

Texas Businessman Hands Out $10,000 Checks in State Senate
AP
Published: July 9, 1989

Bo Pilgrim, Texas millionaire handed out $10,000 checks on the State Senate floor one day this week while legislation that interested him was pending. He says the checks were political contributions, not an attempt to bribe the lawmakers.

Business interests favored the bill, but the Senate rejected it in a vote that was not recorded.

Lonnie (Bo) Pilgrim, an East Texas chicken processor, offered the personal checks, with the payee's name left blank, to nine of the Senate's 31 members Wednesday, two days before the Senate's vote on a House workers' compensation bill.

I'm an Occ Doc: Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The poultry plant tour was to look at the conditions employees have to work in, not to agonize about the chickens ... but of course it was thought-provoking in more ways than one.

I also do Public and Preventive Health (MPH), disaster preparedness, epidemics, international/global health, anything to do with population health (including immunizations and attempts to eradicate various infectious diseases), etc.

Ok. I can grasp that. I was troubled as to why an orthopedist would have to tour a chicken processor. But, I follow.

Carry on.

Makes me suspect the original premise is faulty. i.e. cheap meat.
