In the article Abusing Chickens We Eat by Nicholas Kristof publish in The NewYork Time he described how Perdue treats all his chickens.
Nicholas Kristof points out that Perdue's company doesn't treat their chicken humanely. The chickens don't see the daylight. Also they're giving antibiotics to make their Brest bigger, but they're unable to carry their own weight so they stay on the ground most of the time which scrapes their bottom.
Kristof describes that if human grew the same rate as chicken given antibiotics from the day we are born to 8 weeks we would weight 660 pounds. Kristof also justifies that almost all the chickens have lost their feathers all you can see is the red raw flesh.
The best quote of Nicholas Kristof is "If you buy a Perdue chicken in the grocery store, you might think it had lived a comfortable avian middle-class existence." I like this quote because I use to think chicken were treated humanely. I ever imagine they were treated bad.
The article change the way I see chicken as food. After I read the article I'm going to start to chose my chicken wisely making sure I get the real "raised cage free" and "humanely raised".
Living condition in 1906 was drity and flys were everywhere. The meat were never refrigerated so it would always smell and rot. Also in 1906 the food wouldn't almost be what it said it was. Some food would be rats or human if they fell in the grinder; people would eat those food without knowing.
The meat inspection Act help america by making sure to not allowing misbrand and adulterated. It also made sure meat are being processed under sanitary conditions.
