 Atrocious conditions for chickens
Like pigs, chickens grow up in a similar state of disarray, forced to live through nearly intolerable conditions. Approximately six billion "broiler" chickens are produced and sold each year by the factory farmer to sources like supermarkets and fast food chicken restaurants. As many as 60% of supermarket chickens are infected with Salmonella enteritis. Another pathogen that can be spread from chickens to humans is Campylobacter, which can cause infection, illness or death. |

 What good are chickens if they can't be used to bomb foreign nations in the name of national defense?) However, the scientists did discover that the chickens stored more body fat than usual.
From that experiment, the ever-bewildered U.S. media declared that viruses are to blame for obesity in humans! What a relief! It no longer has anything to do with the fact that TV-hypnotized Americans don't exercise, or that they gobble up sugars, soft drinks and fried foods at a pace that would make a pack of famished chickens blush (right through the feathers, no less). |
| The drug companies, the researchers, the journalists and the chickens are all racing each other to the world record for low IQ scores. And the chickens are losing that race. |
| And there are a couple of plump chickens staggering around a Virginia laboratory to prove it. Oh yeah, and some national newspapers reported it, so it must be true.
You gotta love this country. I'm not certain the journalists who leap to these conclusions are any smarter than the chickens, but I'm willing to bet most of them are fatter. Were they also injected with adenoviruses? |

Do they think the obesity epidemic in this country is the fault of a couple of needle-toting lab researchers who have been sleuthing across the country, jabbing skinny people in their sleep and transforming them into overnight diabetics?
For those of you paying attention to the way the world really works, you've probably already figured out the scam behind this virus explanation for obesity. |

 Her home had chickens in the front yard and sometimes Edelmira and Teresa's grandma had tiffs but they got over it, just like Edelmira's chickens fought with Teresa's grandma's chickens. It was a neighborhood with plenty of neighborly intrigue, spats, and truces. A birdcage with a cockatiel hung from the branch of a big tree. Edelmira sat just to the side of the cage in a small child's chair at a small table with her tightly knitted fists resting on the tabletop. She wore a red skirt and had gold hair and bronze skin and dark eyebrows and blue-white nail polish with sparkles. |

 Then, you feed them primarily grains that are genetically engineered, but mixed in with those grains are things that make the animals grow faster and put on weight, like slaughterhouse waste - basically ground up pigs, chickens, dogs, cats and everything else are fed to them.
They found out all these factory poultry farms around the country were producing billions of pounds of manure that pollute the environment. What can we do with all this manure? Presto, they feed it back to cows. They sweep up the manure, the feathers and the dropped bits of cattle that are fed to chickens in their feed. |

 Under certain conditions, which can occur within live chickens or on farm land, this compound converts into more toxic forms of inorganic arsenic. This form of arsenic has been linked to bladder, lung, skin, kidney and colon cancers, and low-level exposure can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes. Of course, arsenic is also a deadly poison. Over 70 percent of the 9 billion broiler chickens produced annually in the United States are fed roxarsone. |

 The overwhelming majority of the chickens raised for meat in America are the same hybrid, the Cornish cross; more than 99 percent of the turkeys are Broad-Breasted Whites.
With the rise of industrial agriculture, vast monocultures of a tiny group of plants, most of them cereal grains, have replaced the diversified farms that used to feed us. A century ago, the typical Iowa farm raised more than a dozen different plant and animal species: cattle, chickens, corn, hogs, apples, hay, oats, potatoes, cherries, wheat, plums, grapes, and pears. Now it raises only two: corn and soybeans. |

 Eggs: Instant egg preparations, eggs from commercially farmed chickens that have been fed antibiotics or commercial feed. Hard-boiled or hard cooked eggs. (Eggs are very nutritious provided they are from free-range chickens, are undercooked, soft-boiled, soft-poached or lightly scrambled.)
Cheeses: Most should be avoided—especially colored, processed, creamed and fancy cheese spreads. White cheese made from unpasteurized milk is okay.
Sugars and sweets: White, brown, refined, all processed sugars, glucose, fructose, et cetera. Candy, chocolate, desserts, gums, artificial sweeteners. |

 I continue to hope against mounting evidence that companies held to a standard of "organic" will produce chickens, meats, and eggs that are at least marginally better than the chickens, meats, and eggs that come from companies that maintain unspeakably horrible factory-farm conditions. I realize this may not be true. |

 Jensen's book about chlorella you can see rabbits, chickens, and birds, and when they gave them those growth factors, those animals at the same age as the placebos were twice as big. That is quite an amazing story.
The growth factor is a major factor. People are coming to understand this now. When you talked a little bit about homeopathic factors, there may be things we do not quite understand yet about all of this. We use the term "growth factor" but we are not sure exactly how that is working and what it means. |

 Feng shui experts also observe that ants, termites, bees, and wasps (as well as bacteria, viruses, and parasites) thrive in areas of geopathic stress, while chickens, ducks, and most birds do not.
• Use cork tiles and plastic sheets: Lay untreated cork tiles under the bed or between the box spring and mattress for a few weeks. The cork is said to neutralize the detrimental energies, at least temporarily. Plastic sheeting will also screen out geopathic energies for about a week, but then must be replaced, according to Karen Kingston in Creating Sacred Space with Feng Shui. |

| Animals such as cows, calves, pigs and chickens are made to live truly horrible lives, however short, while being housed in factory farms."
The routine torture of dairy cows
Milking cows are treated like machines; confined from all other animals including their calves, they are made to stand on concrete floors in their own waste. In order to manipulate genetics and produce more milk, farmers pump the cows full of chemicals, hormones and antibiotics, many of which may make their way into the milk we drink and the cheese we eat. |

 Although no one has yet studied whether this arsenic is found in the eggs of mass-produced chickens, it's not hard to imagine that some amount of arsenic would be found in those eggs, and if you ate them, you'd be exposing yourself to an unknown level of arsenic.
Whether you approach this from a nutritional point of view, a product safety point of view, or a system that supports the ethical treatment of animals, the choice is clear: choose eggs from free-range chickens grown without the use of antibiotics or hormones. |

Throw out your toxic first aid kid: Aloe vera makes everything else obsolete
Aloe vera is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal. This fact is well known by not just herbalists around the world, but also by anyone with even a hint of common sense. If aloe vera gel wasn't antibacterial, then any little nick or scrape of the aloe plant would result in the whole thing being eaten up by bacteria. Aloe has to be antibacterial simply to survive in the wild! |

| Free range" doesn't necessarily mean the chicken has had access to grass; many egg and broiler producers offer their chickens little more than a dirt yard where nothing grows. Look for the word "pastured." And in the case of beef, keep in mind that all cattle are grass fed until they get to the feedlot; "grass finished" or "100% grass fed" is what you want. For more on the nutritional benefits of pastured food and where to find it, go to eatwild.com.

Most people in the United States are shocked when they hear that 80 percent of the drugs and antibiotics made in this country are not fed to humans to cure them of some illness, but fed to animals in their feed every day to make them grow faster. |

 Do you think this bird flu pandemic rises out of how we treat chickens and animals, the way we raise them in cages and deny them sunlight, air and good nutrition? Is that a fair statement?
Wolfe: I would say that's a fair statement. I look at it as karma, and the old Sanskrit understanding of that word. Karma means what you give is what you get, and we have to be very, very careful, especially about poultry products, because the bird flu can be passed from chickens to humans. That's what it's looking like right now. |

 Trade is not about a bunch of chickens and tomatoes," he said. "The big issues in the world now are questions of standards and regulations. This is now the huge debate. In Europe, there has always been this protest over American imperialism.' Now Americans finally cannot believe that there might be what they think is 'EU imperialism' when it comes to setting those standards."

 The growth rate of chickens fed high-lysine corn was less than those fed corn plus lysine.
Monsanto is seeking approval to market high lysine corn (LY038), the first GM crop designed to deliver "enhanced" nutrition. The corn is designed to be used as animal feed, where it may reduce the cost for lysine supplementation (which accelerates growth rate). But as StarLink contamination made clear (see section 3.5), any GM corn intended for animal feed will certainly be consumed by humans as well. |
