Umm, because it's partially true. They do mechanically seperate the meat, but it's not feathers and all. I'm not so sure I believe the bit about them having to dye it because it's pink... All of the chickens I've butchered have had pink flesh... it turns white when you cook it, no dying necessary.
Well, I see where they get that idea though... Seems like everything is bleached, and if it isn't, it costs a lot more... white eggs cost a lot less than brown. Plus, people often associate brown eggs as better, because farmers tend not to have leghorns, but RIR and the like, so it's easier to...
Unfortunately, standing up for yourself seems to be the only way with some. I remember having some of the "richie" kids doing nasty stuff to me when I moved from the farming community to the city community. I just have to say, kids are NASTY to each other. Heck, I'm still friends with a kid who...
She'd be horrified at my place. My kids (3 and 5) help me with butchering. My oldest always wants the heart, and they like learning what all is inside of the birds. Even when we took the lamb down to the butcher, they were excited to eat him. They told the one guy there, "we're going to eat him...
I read that you can tell what color the eggs will be based on the color of the feathers. Pretty sure it was a hatchery site, nonetheless. I'm not sure my girls got the memo, as I haven't found any black eggs yet!
Eesh. My kids are 3 and 4 and they know that the little cluckers running around lay eggs and make yummy chicken dinner. The only problem with that is that at one point in time, in public, my four year old had a little chicken toy (one of those jelly type things on a string with a light up ball...
Milk is a little different. While commercial farms can still put your costs per gallon to shame, there's a law out there to keep minimum prices on a gallon of milk. That helps to keep the little guys in business. They could probably produce milk at less than 20% of what you're producing a gallon...
