Film Clip kept on playing up.

But I won't be buying chicken for awhile either.

I am not going to watch it if it is putting people of chicken

I laughed when the cook chef said about that frozen dark soup : " This is crime against humanity "

**jen56** · 07-15-2007, 03:06 AM

I wonder what conditions here in the states are like. I know one thing, and that is I have never seen yellow on a chicken.

I am afraid , It s not much different ( not sure 100% )
Please do that experience shown on the video , the spongy bone , cut the bone leg and see if it is spongy .
The more the bone is hard and legs are skinny ( they don't walk a lot ) , the better .

Those chickens grow up fast , too fast for the body to have the right stuff on it .

The only thing that grossed me out a little was hearing that the lame chickens would likely be served to people.

Does not shock me one bit, in a enviorment like that where margins are so thin stuff like that happens.

IMHO best idea would be to have the gov increase the profit margins for the companies, therefore allowing them to be more profitable and not making them cut such tight corners.

But that's bloody protectionism! Essentially, this is communism! Isn't free economy supposed to make the world a better place?
