I'm with you in terms of not being able to eliminate poultry. I eat organic or grass fed as much as possible but eating out can pose difficulties. Food Inc is well worth seeing and we found another movie called 'Ingredients' but haven't gotton around to watching that yet. Will post about it I'm sure. Thanks for the input and sorry about no.4!

Scary personal anecdote - last spring my son raised some baby chicks for a school project, we picked up 4 Cornish Rocks (standard meat breed)... Incredibly (almost unbelievably) fast growth - lost 1 baby around 4 wks of age, when #2 & #3 died showing respiratory & neuro signs between 6 - 8 wks of age (normal slaughter age) - I submitted some blood work: (+) for avian leukosis http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm/bc/203603.htm We were trying to keep #4 alive strictly as a pet, but he could barely walk, a neighbor's dog got him when he was about 12 wks old. Unfortunately I still seem to lack the willpower to completely eliminate the poultry from my diet! Yes, we have not carved the time out to go see “Food Inc”, although we need to…

But from what Gavan has said and what I have read in "Fast Food Nation" it makes me want my own farm, where I control all of my food. But, that is a lot of time and resources that I, as an urbanite, don't have. I agree with Gavan in regards to supporting local farmers and getting foods that are as "clean" as possible. The great thing is that buying organic, free range, hormone free, humanely treated food is becoming more and more prevalent and in turn, I feel, getting more affordable. Vote with dollars, it is certainly the why I am choosing to look at this. I have not seen this movie yet.
