Chicken Check
Posted on February 18, 2010 - Filed Under Activism, chickens, cooking, diet, food safety, ick!, this sucks!
I have not eaten any commercially produced chicken product since the line was drawn (in my mind) in October 2009. Nothing. Nada. Tempted? No. The only chicken that has been in my mouth came from our backyard. Shhh, don’t tell them. And be careful what you say around Jett! I have, however, continued to eat commercially produced turkey. Mmmm, turkey bacon. Sigh. I’m sure that pleasure could easily be ruined any day now.
Shrimp is now officially ruined for me. I love shrimp. Despite the mercury and other toxins in our local waters, I continue to eat local and wild (although like everything else, it seems that also has its negatives, but I’ve got to eat something!), but forget anything farm-raised or out of the country. Did you know the majority of the shrimp sold in the U.S. comes from Asia and Central America? Next time you buy shrimp, ask where it came from. I know, I know…but you might be really surprised by the answer, especially if you live near supposed shrimp territory. If you want to be totally grossed out by shrimp, lol (but really so not funny), click here.
Hmmm, what’s (left to eat) for dinner?
