Feces In Feed. Can You Say "Gross!?"
Feces In Feed. Can You Say "Gross!?"
Okay, I’m glad that some consumer groups are calling on the FDA to ban the use of chicken feces as cattle feed, but I just can’t help but wonder why some people don’t seem think it’s just as gross and unhealthy to feed themselves the flesh of dead animals. A"rib" is actually a rib, you know?
When people eat animals and their “byproducts,” they’re also eating the crap (literally!) that the animals ate. Not to mention the antibiotics that the animals were fed, which can lead to antibiotic resistance.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but every time I see an article like this, it reminds me that many people still have no idea about what they eat. I hope the FDA bans chicken feces as feed, for the sake of humans and animals, but I’d rather see people feeding themselves vegan food!
