Following mad cow disease, now your chicken meat contains arsenic, too

Key concepts: meat, arsenic, disease
The
there's mad cow disease and the revelations of the meat packing industry
which engages is frightening aseembly line practices that allow spinal
material to be sold as "beef." Now, in the story below, you'll read
about the poultry industry and the rather bizarre fact that chicken
ranchers feed arsenic to their chickens to help prevent intestinal
parasites. In my view, it isn't just the cows that have gone mad:
it's the ranchers and meat packers who have lost their minds and,
apparently, any sense of decency when it comes to producing a food
product that doesn't harm consumers. Didn't it occur to these people
that maybe arsenic shouldn't be fed to chickens that are going to be
eaten by humans? You know, the bottom line is that too many
corporate meat ranchers, in both the chicken and cattle industries, will
do practically anything to their "product" if it helps reduce costs and
boost their financial return. The health of the consumer is apparently
the very last thing on their minds. They'll add antibiotics, hormones,
and poisons... they'll feed chicken litter to the cows, and dead cow
parts back to the chickens. And they'll proudly label their product,
"100% American beef!" No thanks, I'll take some tofu instead, thank
you. Or, perhaps, some organically produced meat grown by
responsible ranchers and farmers who don't shoot up their cows and
chickens with chemicals and drugs. Because if it's true that we are what
we eat, then most Americans who are eating beef are, technically,
walking chemical timebombs. Maybe this is part of the reason we're
seeing such skyrocketing cancer rates, do ya think?
