"The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that foodborne illnesses sicken approximately forty-eight million people each year, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest puts chicken in the number one spot of its “Risky Meat” list. While Super notes that ninety-nine percent of the chicken consumed in the U.S. is “hatched, raised and processed” here, and “we don’t expect that to change,” cutting the number of inspectors overseeing the process at home and excluding them entirely from new plants in a country already rife with controversial food safety measures seems unlikely to improve those numbers. Super also mentioned that, “some economists have pointed out that they just don’t see how China can do this economically,” considering the logistics. Makes you wonder what corners will be cut to make it worth the effort." salon/2013/09/16/chicken_is_killing_the_planet/
