Let's start with the meat we eat. The top 4 companies control 80% of beef and pork we eat. Tyson is the largest meat company in the world! They have control over most of the meat we eat. What this means is our decision to purchase products from them encourages them to produce as much meat as possible economically as possible to increase your income.Chicken farm facts:
• Due to its contracts with Tyson and other companies that just a farmer allowed the filmmakers to get his chicken coop.
• The chicken house discussed in the film has windows and fresh air moving through it every day - Tyson does not allow farmers to raise chickens in houses with windows. Most chickens never see daylight
• The chicken house that was discussed was full of chickens. Each day the farmer walked by the house to dispose of dead chickens.
• 1 farmer has about 300,000 chickens
· We grow chickens in 48 days - in nature it takes 2 or 3 times as long!
• Due to rapid growth and steroids to increase muscle tissue - bones of chicken can not bear the weight of the chicken and many of them are stationary.
