Last week, I read something about chicken producers who are now raising chicken which are genetically modified to be featherless. I am not so sure but I think they are probably thinking that featherless chicken can cost less in feeds and can be easy to harvest later as the time dressing them is significantly lessen. Aside from being featherless, most of the chickens are also kept in horrible conditions. . Right now, we also have chickens which are genetically modified to grow larger breast resulting for the chicken that can’t walk. I think as time goes on, we should be witnessing more horrendous inhumane ideas that producers would be willing to inflict on the chicken because they are all guided by profit – nothing more. I also love eating chicken but I can’t take animal abuse. This is already too much. This is a personal stand.
Have you ever watched the documentary Food Inc? It is a great overview of the animals and the food industry. You will never want to eat meat again or at least pick better choices when it comes to your meats.
Genetically modified foods sounds scary and in real life scary. Better to raise chicken old ways, making them featherless was cruel even though they will me made as food, it should not be that manner.
I have not watched it yet but I have seen its thriller in December. I really hope I could get a copy of that docu-film because I am sure producers of that were able to unearth many new discoveries which for a long time have just been relegated purposely on the background when it comes to the foods we are eating. Something is really wrong in our modern food chain and as long as people would not be complaining in droves then we can never expect good and true changes. Foods are providing us the nutrients which the body is using for both survival and repair so this is not a minor matter that we can just shoulder-shrug.
This really doesn't surprise me any. They're constantly modifying animals and plants to try to make them better somehow. It's kind of scary. I do understand why they're doing it and sure, featherless birds would mean they could still an entire process of defeathering and cleaning the birds. That's a lot of money saved. It doesn't change me from being extremely wary against it, though.
The main idea here is to enhance production and profitability but along the way there is a great possibility that we are sacrificing safety and health of the consumers and of these animals. I am not really a vegetarian and I do eat meat from time to time but I am not in full agreement that we are the liberty to cross the line of what could be appropriate and what are not. This has already become so unacceptable for me.
