Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Good news for all you poultry lovers out there - Tyson Foods has announced that they will no longer use antibiotics to raise chicken that is sold fresh in stores. Almost half of their production facilities will be converted to produce the new antibiotic-free chicken products, and they are planning to launch a $70 million ad campaign to promote the hell out of it. Needless to say you can expect the price to go up, though the chief exec of Tyson has stated that the increase will be less than $1 a pound.
The new product has already been shipped to some stores, and are now labeled as having no artificial ingredients.

This move by Tyson while producing a marginally healthier product does nothing to alleviate the immense amount of suffering that is innate to their business. While the restriction of antibiotics may force slightly lower stocking densities (or just more paranoid control of disease spread) tens of thousands of genetically identical chickens will be raised in confined sheds for all of their 90-day, artifically growth induced lives. This measure is not a substantive change. Please don't support the mass exploitation of animals; I doubt it matters much to the 9 billion plus chickens that are raised and slaughtered every year in the USA whether they doped up on drugs or not.
