My (quite short) TSC feed experiment.

I thought that was just an example of a pet food recall that had occurred, rather than pointing fingers at the specific company.

Recalls happen with many different companies, usually because a mistake was made somewhere.

Here are three examples from different companies, in a different years:
https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-...l-flock-party-quack-snacks-sold-united-states
In 2021, duck treats were recalled because of possible salmonella contaminationa. The brand was Flock Party, the manufacturer was Manna Pro.

https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-...lls-easy-feed-organic-chick-startergrower-org
In 2021, a chick starter was recalled for having insufficient salt. That manufacturer was Hubbard Feeds.

https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-...ern-statesr-feed-due-highexcessiveor-elevated
In 2019, a number of different poultry feeds and other feeds were recalled for having aflatoxin levels that were too high. The manufacturer was Cargill, and they had been sold at Southern States stores.

Those examples are from the FDA list here:
https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/safety-health/recalls-withdrawals
(Many of the others are pet foods, and many are because of salmonells. I picked two specific examples that are more relevant to chickens.)

All of those companies have produced plenty of animal food that is just fine, and one or a few batches that had problems. If there are problems with some currently-available chicken foods, I think it's more likely by mistake than because of any big plan or conspiracy.

I said that because someone said Purina owned Producers Pride so i figured i would through that info in there too. Just because they’re owned by the “same” company doesn’t mean anything

Good point.

I believe I mentioned recalls and bad batches being a possibility. I feel like people forget we do live in a world riddled with imperfections and sometimes crappy things happen. Doesn't mean it is an intentional ploy to screw backyard chicken farmers bc of their high egg cost. I mean if anything, shouldn't we inflate our charges as well if we are for profit?

If we really wanted to get into the grand scheme of things. They make the things that kill us faster cheaper than the healthy options and we choose it. They get all the money and we continue to feed it to them (i.e. soda, beer, refined carbs, fast food) just imagine if we simply took away ONE of those....how much would obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, etc decrease? We will never know bc we want what we want but yet we think they are targeting chicken eggs? It's almost laughable and I'm a skeptic by nature. We would be better off assuming it's all poison

I agree with that for sure. We put worse things in our bodies than Purina could ever put in our Fowl's food. We do it willingly too.

The weather has definitely been strange. Ever taken time to watch the planes in the sky? Google chem trails. We’ve seen a huge increase lately in our area

Y'know contrails are water vapor, right?

Then where does the “chem” come from

Are we talking about those white trails in the sky behind airplanes?
I always heard them called "jet trails."
I can find a wikipedia article calling them "contrails" (short form of "condensation trails.")
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail

I don't know how many other names they have, or how accurate which names are.
I've seen plenty of things with odd names because someone mis-heard a different name. I have no idea whether that has happened in this case or not.
