Poultry Thursday



I believe that it's crucial that people need to pay more attention to how poultry products are produced. The only safe chicken now is one that you raise yourself.

"A recent study of 1,000 chickens from retail markets in 36 cities across the U.S. found 71 percent to be contaminated with harmful bacteria. Campylobacter-the leading cause of foode-borne illness in the U.S. — was the most commonly found pathogen. Salmonella was the second most commonly found bacteria. Taken together, these two pathogens are estimated to infect up to 10 million people every year in the U.S., killing as many as 3,000."
