Is corn-fed chicken just a meme to get you to pay more for the same shit?
What does /ck/ think?

>>12301258
Any "vegetable fed only!" chicken is a meme. Chickens mostly eat bugs IRL. They also arent naturally the size of turkeys

Pastured poultry is always best, in both taste and texture. Chickens eat mostly bugs and seeds, and it raises the nutritional value of the meat. I won't eat any poultry that's only cage or even cageless but penned. It's not going to taste as good or be as good for me. You can REALLY tell the difference with larger poultry like turkey. A pastured turkey has way better flavor and texture than a battery turkey, with less yellow fat, and more supple joints from being able to move about freely. That's something that people don't usually think about, that the fact that they can move around freely makes their fat leaner and their joints more supple from the movement, and therefore makes for a tastier, easier to part out bird. Goes for all of them chicken, turkey, duck, etc.

Depends. Corn puts fat on fast so you're going to have a nice layer on fat on the meat. If you're into that or making a roasted chicken it could be nice, or at the very least it could add some flavor. Corn is cheap but it's still technically more pricey than soy as for the cost.

Organic is the only one with specific requirements that have to be met and certified by the USDA. Granted, the megacorporations rammed in the use of broad spectrum pesticides, but there are many small and medium organic farmers who reject the use of pyrethrins. Combination of local and organic is ideal. Often they'll let you visit and *gasp* learn what sustainable farming looks like.

Actually, I have a masters in Biological Science. Which I became interested in as a child since I worked with animals my entire life. And I now apply it to working with local wildlife programs as well as livestock. Most ranchers (including my father) have degrees in agricultural sciences. So, it would seem you two have your pointy little heads up your ass.

Why would you pay more for a chicken fed with the cheapest shit possible? You should be getting a chicken fed with meat from other, smaller chickens if you're paying extra. Like how fish farming works.

>> No.12305474

>>12301258
Businesses are literally trying to sell you chicken fed with the cheapest and most poisonous food in the world for more money than conventional chicken just because the fat looks yellow and similar to actual properly raised chickens.

If people are buying it then capitalism won, people are just that dumb.

What about corn fed chicken? What’s the difference you’ve heard?We fed them cracked corn on the farm but the only difference I noticed from mass produced was harder shell and thick yolk. But you’ll get that with virtually any small farm egg. Buy them from some white trash with a chicken pen or Vital farms, good shit. Farmfag verified.

All that is required for a 'free range' label is that whatever contraption they're keeping the animals in has a door to the outside world.
