I am on holiday in Italy and I took this picture at a market.

Chicken is a part of the human diet in most parts of the world. The production of chicken and also eggs in the USA is a very streamlined and efficient agribusiness. I saw a documentary years ago that said that TYLER owned just about all the chickens in the country and that farmers were basically subcontractors.

I couldn’t help but notice that a recent promotion from the egg marketing board featured lots of happy farm families in golden lighting handling eggs. The 30 second television commercial did not feature a single frame showing a chicken. The animal welfare and animal rights people could not accuse them of presenting a false or misleading picture of the chickens that lay your eggs.
