| Are You Concerned About Chemicals and By-Products in Grocery Store Chicken? by Laura Childs |
Are you concerned about the recent
outbreaks of Avian Flu and the potential health risks of eating
commercially raised poultry?
If your family eats 2-3 servings of
chicken per week you may be subjecting yourselves to all types of
health hazards.
Poultry growers are in the business of getting birds to their top weight as quickly as possible by any means available. As a result people are becoming increasingly aware of the health risks of the food they eat.
It is no secret that steroids and other chemicals are used to grow chickens quick to the market. What goes into the birds will eventually be ingested by your and your families bodies.
Growing in popularity are concerned families
hosting a backyard flock of their own to supply meat and eggs. These
families control the food their birds receive and raise them in a
stress free environment - which results in better taste, nutritional
value and satisfaction. Raising a small flock of chickens in the
backyard is easier than you think - and, given the rise in cost of
chicken perhaps economical as well!
