Chicken Industry Bickers Over How Far to Pervert the Word “Natural”

July 30, 2010

Chicken producers and the USDA are debating the terms under which chicken meat can be labeled “natural.”

I’d have no problem with this word being used to describe meat from unmedicated birds who pecked the dirt outdoors in grassy, uncrowded conditions. But neither side of this debate is entertaining any such requirement.

Instead, this debate is being restricted to what sorts of substances can be added the the birds’ carcasses. Link.
