Tyson and (Chicken Nuggets)

Jonathan Katz Nov 13, 2008

  • The public embrace of “Chicken Nuggets , Buffalo Wings through fast food propelled Tyson to becoming one of the largest meat suppliers in the U.S.

    The parts of normally discarded are now used in the "Nugget” market. it is not just KFC cruelty but the people who supply them. Visiting a Tyson plant is horrifying . You can smell the plant 15 miles away on the interstate.

    There is also the issue of obesity in children and adults that these “Fried Chicken parts” play a significant

    role.

  • The eating of chickens is not only an ethical but also a health concern. I do not campaign for vegetarianism but I do point out that eating any meat from so called Farm-Factories of meat is causing major health problems due to the : unclean conditions of production, the use of refuse as an ingredient in animal food products, the use of antibiotics, which then are ingested by humans; all these factors call for more intelligent approach to our eating habits.
