I have several other posts half-finished and waiting on photos…roasted chicken and the yogurt update…they are coming. But I wanted to share this link about supermarket chickens. Since we are heading out to a nearby farm to pick up chickens this weekend, the article seemed timely. (thanks to Jennifer, my parents’ neighbor, for sending it along!)

The bottom line: the “cleanest” of the supermarket chickens were still contaminated HALF of the time. Yikes.
Check out the full story here.
And then go find a farmer with a yard full of chickens and make friends.
Wow! We’ve been buying organic chicken for some time because of the conditions in which factory chickens are raised. Now I have yet another reason! Thanks for sharing this story. I’m passing it on.
It’s crazy, isn’t it? Something which seems so simple – our food – is getting really complicated. Glad you enjoyed the information!
BTW–Haven’t been able to eat regular chicken (as opposed to “real” chicken) since reading this. Forwarded it on to my husband, and now he’s totally on board, too! Thanks!
Certainly makes it easier when everyone is on the same page. That reminds me that we need to make a run out to the farm this weekend and get some more “real” chickens!! Have a great weekend…
