Prices haven't changed by me either yet, but there's still a lot of shortages, I have a standing delivery order for 1 whole perdue chicken every other friday(snack for the cats, meals are still canned food). I got nothing this order, the 2 orders before it was substituted for a package of 3 store brand chicken thighs (hopefully from more than one chicken).hello,
just checked and its the same price as always. I just watched a documentary on what tyson has done to small chicken farmers, its horrible. I buy perdue, havent had a chance to research if they have their hands dirty too.
I used to buy chicken from a small spanish grocery store. but the chicken always had this strong odor. The cats loved it, and my mom told me thats what farm meat smells like. Not sure if thats true.
If you're referring to the bullying/extorting of chicken farmers, forcing them into tournament farming contracts, etc Pilgrim’s Pride, Tyson, Perdue, Koch Foods, and Sanderson Farms are all equally guilty of unfair labor and and predatory competition practices. It's the same list that are guilty of cure animals farming practices.
Tyson just gets more attention because they supply the large fast food chains across the entire nation, Purdue mainly sells in grocery stores and only specific regions of the country. The companies are pretty identical
Chicken Humanely raised in farms where growers get a living wages would cost $6-8/lb.
Unless you want to pay that much, it doesn't matter what brand you buy, it's all coming from an evil factory farm.
