Natural Chicken May Not Be As Natural As Some People Think

Post by tex »

Hi All,

Hopefully, USDA will get it's act together soon, and change the labeling laws, because as it now stands, chicken labeled as "Natural" can legally be "injected", which creates a rather misleading situation, IMO.

Obviously, some manufacturers will do anything they can get away with. :roll:

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

You know Tex I have been starting to source my chicken from a local farm for just this reason. The more I read and find out, the more I am finding that I prefer to work with local farmers; fortunately I live out in the country a bit, so there are many choices locally.

Thanks for posting this Tex

I am in the same situation as Joe, being out in the country, and have gone to local chicken, produce, etc from the Amish no less than 1/2 mile from my. Much, much safer and way fresher.
