If you’ve ever seen one of those undercover videos that show how chickens, turkeys and other animals are treated in factory farms, then you already know these animals are living in poor, filthy conditions which leave these animals filled with harmful pathogens. This is why your meat must undergo chemical treatments before being served on your dinner table. According to documented reports, after the animals are slaughtered, they are sprayed, bathed and injected with all sorts of chemical solutions, including chlorine bleach, before being shipped off to your supermarkets. These chemicals are carefully designed to kill any bacteria so your meat is considered “safe” for human consumption. According to the Washington Post, the USDA intends to throw more chemicals, and less regulation at the poultry industry dilemma. But like all other chemical-based solutions that complement industrial food production, this process is ultimately failing to subdue and kill pathogens the same way that it used to back in the old days. New scientific research recently submitted to the USDA reveals that the routine process by which the factory food industry covers its frightful tracks are no match to a whole new generation of “superbugs” that resist these chemicals. The USDA’s proposed solution only further adds to the problem by covering it up with even more chemicals.
“If the new rule is implemented, all chicken will be presumed to be contaminated with feces, pus, scabs and bile and washed in chlorine solution,” explains ChickenJustice.org. “Consumers will eat chicken with more chemical residue and contaminants. With faster production rates, workers injuries will increase. They will also face breathing and skin problems from consistent exposure to chlorine wash. OSHA will take the next 3 years to study the impact of the faster processing lines on workers, but USDA wants to implement the rule immediately.”
