Commercially grown chickens are confined into miserable huge houses & are fed a diet so laced with drugs, hormones, antibiotics that they are surely immune to little ol’ melamine. An arsenic based product is added to thier feed...it is a problem in this neck of the woods as is suspected of being a potential culprit in the high incidence of “ rare” cancers that are occuring. The chicken litter which contains the residue of the arsenic is spread on fields, the dusty litter blows evwerywhere. It has been found inside school classrooms in concentrations to set off a red flag. But good news, the big chicken companies will be moving the chicken production to China & Latin America, so we won’t have to worry about all the dust blowing arsenic into our schools.
I heard that hormones aren’t allowed in chicken any more.
