(8,913 posts)I have chickens (only for their eggs) and I gather their manure for my garden.
I only buy chicken that is organic free range so I know the chickens lived a humane life and know I'm not putting hormones, antiobiotics, glyphosate and toxins into my body. It's the fkn factory farms that are the problem. OMG! If you ever visited one of these horrible chicken farms you would never eat chicken that is not free range again - and real free range, not coped-up chickens that get to see the sun for only 15 minutes a day.
Same as grass fed beef. I live in a ranching community in the high desert of NM. Cows that get to roam and eat grasses are so different then factory farming cows. I will not touch meat that is not grass fed, and luckily out here in the high desert of NM, I can buy beef from ranchers I know.
I think it's good to support the people who are making a effort to raise animals humanely even if it costs more money. Eat less meat, but higher quality meat. Only eat meat of animals allowed to forage on the land.
