Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 _http://www.wewant2live.com/site/811618/page/822785t_ (http://www.wewant2live.com/site/811618/page/822785t) Very often, poultry meat and eggs that are labeled organic are fed mainly soy, such as Rosie Organic Chicken. It is not only a misnomer, it is an outright advertising fraud. Even though the soy that is fed to its chickens was organically grown, when the soy is processed with chemicals and used as feed, it fails to be organic. Rosie " Organic " Chicken feeds its chickens up to 75% chemically- treated and processed soy. Arsenic contaminates many of your favorite foods, including rice and chicken, intentionally. In this article, we focus on chicken meat and eggs. For many decades, chicken farmers have been feeding chickens arsenic to hasten and increase growth and conceal symptoms of disease at youthful stages of chicken development. Of the 8.7 billion American broiler chickens produced each year, at least 70 percent have been fed arsenic. Some of that arsenic remains in chicken meat; the following chart shows how much by brand and cut.
