Why Choose Organic Free-Range Chicken or
Turkey?
Intensive battery farming is cruel. In my view
there simply is no justifiation whatsoever for this barbaric
practise. Free range and organically fed chickens is the only
farming method that society should tolerate. To achieve this
is is imperative we act together. If we all only buy free-range
organically fed chickens and turkeys then the industry will
have no option other than to submit to public demand.
But the welfare of chickens is not the only
reason or even the most important reason we should eat organically
farmed chickens and their eggs. Our own health is the most
important reason! Look at how unhealthy battery chickens appear?
They have been debeaked, a truly barbaric practice, and will
have lost much of their plumage and appear scrawny an ill-kempt.
Goodness knows what goes into their feed? But you can bet
your butt there will be chemicals in there unnatural to hens
and placed there to make them lay more eggs or fatten up the
chicken for more profit for farmer and supermarket! Those
chemicals enter our bodies via the chicken and eggs we eat.
Organically fed, free-range chickens are healthy
chickens. Surely it is common sense that a healthy chicken
is better for us to eat? If we are what we eat, then so is
the hen. I repeat, a free range hen is simple common sense.
