You forgot to mention that organic, free range chicken (and the eggs they lay) taste better.

I think if you take the feathers off, and deep fry the chicken, that should kill off all the bacteria...also, drinking liberal amounts of alcohol along with it helps as well, since it's a known fact that alcohol kills bacteria...
Just trying to help out here...
More poultry is produced in north Georgia than anywhere else in the world. That industry employs huge numbers of people here. The rendering plants are really stinky. You often pass these huge poultry farms with a dozen or more enormous chicken houses. I have shoveled chicken shit 2 feet deep out of chicken houses when I was a teen. Not a fun weekend or summer job. The chickens are pumped full of anti-biotics. They live by the thousands in huge breeder houses (that doesn't bother me, the houses are heated & air conditioned.) At least they don't keep the chickens in cages here, except to temporarily take them to the rendering plants. There is good and bad to them being full of anti-biotics. At least the chicken meat will not contain disease but how do all of those anti-biotics effect people who eat that meat? I still eat it.
The vegetables you buy in the grocery store are genetically altered, spayed with insecticides, and fertilized with nitrogen. Corn fertilizer and insecticide in the American mid-west in the Mississippi Valley is so bad that it does much more damage polluting the Gulf of Mexico than the BP oil spill did. Furthermore all kinds of preservative addatives are added to vegetables in canning, before freezing, etc.
As for as organic vegetables. How do you know they are truly organic unless you either grew them yourself or knew who did? Secondly, organic vegetables contain much more bacteria on their surface than mass grown treated vegetables.
One major problem with organic vegetables is that they cannot be grown in sufficient quantity to feed the masses.
If you eat organic vegetables please take much more care to wash them thoroughly. (I also eat organic vegetables as much as possible)
I do love to visit my granddad at his farm. He loads me up on vegetables and fruit that he grows himself. He does raise free-range chickens and cows. But they are more like pets. Occasionally he'll fry up a chicken but he wouldn't part with one of those cows for anything. He rents out his bull for breeding. Lucky bull.
Meet Your Meat - Youtube it (Alec Baldwin narrating). You'll watch that (however long you can stomach to) and go Vegan for a few months, or alter your shopping habits immensely.
Distressed meat is so....... tender and tasty (thanks to those chemicals and genes it is doctored with these days).
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
Also with the exception of when the chickens are being feed, they are kept in dark barns. If a bird is put in a dark place it will sit. Therefore under-developing the legs while making their breast bigger. The request is higher because breasts is an "healthy choice".
Any animal stressed will have high levels of the hormone cortisol, which it will linger in the flesh. No matter how you cook it.
MMM Grilled Tender Young Breast of chicken a la cortisol. Yum

Life is simple; we are what we eat and what we read. Talk is superfluous.
Mass amounts amounts of chicken manure (shit) spread as fertilizer on vegetable fields, hay fields, and yards not only stinks really bad, but is a major pollutant. It washes off into creeks and rivers when it rains and eventually into the ocean. Plus it seeps down into the water table. So can you imagine how much chicken shit you consume in your water and fish.
i may be in a minority here but to be honest i never asked the chicken i'm getting ready to eat where it was born. i did, at one time, raise chicken for the eggs, but when i saw that when one chicken crapped, the other rushed over to peck at that waste, i realized i'd seen more than i want to know, so now buy my eggs and chickens from a store. i understand that animals are mistreated and that is bad but i also understand that as the population on earth increases there is less area to raise the hamburger, steaks, and chicken we so desire. I know that you vegans and such are ready to shoot me but i was raised eating meat, as was most most animals. most of the vegans in history are now extinct
There is a chicken farm, that uses flat screen TVs in the coops. They have nature scenes playing on them, the purpose is to make the chickens think they are free range.
People are sure good at over reacting. LOL
