It is difficult for me to accept these facts.
It only takes 7 weeks for the chicks to hatch to a weight of 5 and a half pounds. Their bones and internal organs have not kept up with this growth rate. Many chickens here can only walk a few steps and then fall down because their bodies cannot support their own weight
"Antibiotics are mixed in the feed, and chicken meat can be transmitted to people after being eaten. Bacteria are resistant to antibiotics, and antibiotics are ineffective."
When you walk through the supermarket, these dizzying options actually don't exist. The diversity of food is just the appearance, and only a few companies are involved in the production.
Feed animals with cheap corn>We eat cheap meat
"Cows don't eat corn, they eat grass. We feed the cows with corn, just because corn is really cheap and it makes the cows grow faster."
These animals lie in their dung all day long, and when they are slaughtered, the dung is on their skin. If the slaughterhouse slaughters 400 cows every day, how to ensure that the slaughtered meat will not stick to the feces? This is how the meat is contaminated with manure.
The structure of the cow's stomach can digest grass. Some studies have shown that corn-based feed will increase acid-tolerant Escherichia coli. Feeding cows with corn will cause this common bacteria to gradually evolve, and some mutations have occurred.
E. coli is not only found in ground beef, but also in spinach and apple juice, which are by-products of factory farms.
During the Bush administration, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture has been the main lobbyist sent by the beef industry to Washington. Director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, former vice chairman of the American Food Processing Industry Association. These regulators are actually controlled by companies that they are supposed to supervise between applause.
We can buy cheap candy, cheap potato chips, soda water is also very cheap.
Why can you buy a double cheeseburger at McDonald’s for 99 cents, but not cauliflower in the market for the same price?
The food industry blames people's wrong lifestyles for obesity. However, the food industry has changed food, and the food industry has changed people's way of life.
For many years, the government turned a blind eye to the recruitment of illegal workers by meat suppliers. But now, with the rise of the anti-immigration movement, the government is beginning to take drastic measures. Not for food companies, but for workers.
The expansion of large food companies is not achieved through their own growth, but through acquisitions.
Is this really good?
My answer is ..Not
The very important issue you highlighted is in your article. Because the weak are attacked, the strong use their power to protect themselves,
The real problem is in the system.
