Yes, they left the Foster Farms raw chickens on the shelves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155775 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 14:24:27 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1155775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Not the chickens they cooked, but raw Foster Farms chicken was implicated in the original problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155664 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:55:29 +0000 Freckles 1155664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: The article also states that they've put the chickens back on the shelf, putting the responsibility on the consumers. So wrong. We're getting our meat freezer packs from our local butcher today, thank goodness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155591 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:40:30 +0000 mediagirl 1155591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably shouldn't, but I do. Same goes for pork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155583 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:39:10 +0000 psw27 1155583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yuck. I pretty much have to force myself to eat chicken anyway, this might just seal the deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155569 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:35:34 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1155569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand all of the animal cruelty issues, but the article really shows how unsafe the industry itself is which is what is scary. Organic chicken can still be contaminated with salmonella and some of the newer strains are antibiotic resistant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155489 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:16:06 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1155489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: yeah :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155478 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:15:00 +0000 yoursilverlining 1155478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: agreed, this happens more often than we would like to think about. debeaking is also quite a revolting and standard practice in large factory farms...which is why I avoid them as much as possible. Hurts my heart! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155471 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:11:47 +0000 Running Elley 1155471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: That's what I'm thinking too. Super duper washing, cooking and deep deep cleaning the kitchen!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155461 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:08:33 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1155461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: male chicks are "useless" so that's pretty much what happens to them. </p> <p>In short, I'd say if you're going to eat any animal, you should definitely know where it's coming from and how it's being treated/prepared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155442 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:04:27 +0000 IRunForFun 1155442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't bought chicken ever since the last salmonella outbreak was posted, but I'm sure other meats aren't much safer unless they are free range and organic. There are also outbreaks in produce, etc, so at some point it's like...what CAN we eat? I'm just washing and overcooking everything and hoping for the best... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155436 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:04:07 +0000 spaniellove 1155436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I know...I suppose all meat is processed somehow but I can eat something else until I get that image out of my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155428 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:02:42 +0000 mrs. bird 1155428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: wtf?!? Are you serious?? That's so disturbing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155421 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:00:49 +0000 spaniellove 1155421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think what little appetite I had left for chicken was gone after I saw the recent video supposedly of the chicks at the Bell and Evans plant being tossed into grinders still alive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-you-eat-chicken#post-1155362 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:47:16 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1155362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm already not a huge chicken-lover though I do eat a fair amount of chicken. This article totally freaked me out. Costco found salmonella even in their cooked chicken and they cook it to 180 degrees when the standard is 160. (They pulled all of the chicken.)</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/16/opinion/bittman-should-you-eat-chicken.html?src=rechp" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/16/opinion/bittman-should-you-eat-chicken.html?src=rechp</a> </p>
