A few years ago I got to know a commercial chicken farmer. He showed us his "chicken houses," which were large dirt-floor buildings packed so full of chickens you could barely see the ground. They ate whatever grain he threw in there. By contract he had to buy grain from Tyson and sell them the chickens.
- foogazi 6y ago> By contract he had to buy grain from Tyson and sell them the chickens. I’m assuming a contract he signed Edit: similarly you could say by contract Tyson had to sell him the grain and buy chickens from him
- DennisP 6y agoI wasn't making a moral judgement, just emphasizing that the chickens eat grain and will continue eating grain. I could also get into a discussion of market inequities and whatnot but it'd be a bit off-topic in this discussion of environmental impacts.
