Fieldale Farms

This morning, I went grocery shopping because we have a serious lack of food.

I picked up a pack of chicken leg quarters for the low, low price of 59¢ a pound. The package was even marked "All Natural". I was very impressed, since the natural stuff is usually pricier, so I decided to look up the company that fed and slaughtered my chickens.

Fieldale Farms is a Georgia-based factory farming operation that helped push through legislation that allows animals fed on non-organic feed to be labeled "organic": www.ewg.org/node/15301. Now I wonder how meaningful that "All Natural" label really is.
