Kim makes an excellent point. There are ways to get poultry (and meat) that is better for us, looking for grass fed beef* and range fed poultry.

I get asked regularly whether "free range chickens" are better. The answer is that they may or may not be. It depends on what they are fed. "Free range" implies that they are not kept in cages. "Range fed" should mean that they are eating off the land like a chicken is meant to do but I seriously wonder how many chickens are not given some form of grains whether they are in a cage or not. From what I have been able to find, most chicken feed now contains gluten-grains (which also contributes to the sad fact that chicken is now the second leading source of estrogen in our diet. Ugh!)

(*Free range, grass fed buffalo is supposed to be really good stuff.)
