I would like for people to consider eating less chicken, or at least eat chicken that has been farmed with care. Eat local chicken, where the chickens can walk around and live a happy life.
Read the description below to know how many chickens live before showing up in the supermarket.
New Yorker writer Michael Specter, on his first visit to a chicken farm:
"I was almost knocked to the ground by the overpowering smell of feces and ammonia. My eyes burned and so did my lungs, and I could neither see nor breathe….There must have been thirty thousand chickens sitting silently on the floor in front of me. They didn’t move, didn’t cluck. They were almost like statues of chickens, living in nearly total darkness, and they would spend every minute of their six-week lives that way."
—Michael Specter, New Yorker
