the place your food comes from- IOWA | Believe me I get it. I've been involved in all sides of this industry, and in more aspects than I care to count.
The real fact is, that there is something inertly wrong about the way they are now being raised.
Back in the day, yep they were in crates, but then they and their offspring spent most
of their lives finishing in open front cargills ( SUNSHINE and dirt for gods sakes ), remodeled dairy barns,
etc. and gestating on dirt lots with warm comfy sheds full of straw.
Now, its all or nothing, and as you well know; mostly nothing.
Comparing them to a lowly chicken equates not.
The argument that the consumers wont pay is also disingenuous.
Sure, the organic, free- range- berk bred served on a golden laced plate is gonna cost allot more,
but your talking the extreme upper-end there.
The truth, and now the price, once again; is in the middle.
People adjust and so will you. Be ready.
