This is great, Alexis. Well said. We make food falsely cheap, waste most of it, and bury our heads thinking that we’ve progressed.

Thank you, Alexis for this articulate and straightforward presentation of the poultry aspect of the industrial food system in this country.

Understanding how the prevailing system deprives consumers of truly nutritious food at almost any price point is key in my mind to educating consumers.

What makes any food more nutritious in terms of how it is produced?

I remember hearing another farmer (Bob Cannard) talking about the care he put into the soil of his farm, and how that contributed to his veggies being vibrant and nutritious.

What makes an egg from a pasture-raised chicken more nutritious than the eggs from birds raised in the other ways? I can see and taste the difference, for sure. I can guess how that makes an egg more nutritious, but I don’t really know. Thank you!
