Would "Healthier" Chickens Harm the Environment? Would raising chickens more slowly -- keeping them alive for 7 or 8 weeks, say, instead of 5 or 6 weeks -- be a welfare improvement that would inflict more harm on the environment than the industry already causes? Our answer to this question is crucial for the fate of animals and the earth.

Which Is Worse For The Environment -- Poultry Or Beef? Contrary to a recent study, I dispute the implication that the answer to cattle pollution is to eat more poultry. The poultry industry in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States, where I live and work, is a microcosm of the global expansion of the poultry industry and its baleful effect on land, air, water, and human and animal wellbeing.

Chicken For Dinner: It's Enough to Make You Sick First published in 1998, "Chicken For Dinner: It's Enough to Make You Sick" is newly available from United Poultry Concerns with updated content and references. Does it surprise you to know that the information presented in 1998 from the 1980s and 1990s followed by countless articles, scientific reports, blog posts, and whatnot since then, has hardly changed a bit?

Is Chicken Healthier Than Red Meat? The color of meat is irrelevant. The choice between red meat versus poultry or fish is about as much of a choice as between foodborne illness and cancer. Fortunately, there's a better choice.

Do Chickens Make People Chubbier? Antibiotics and Obesity Many people switch from beef to chicken believing chicken to be a healthier food choice. For decades we’ve been told that chicken is lower in fat and cholesterol than red meat, so it’s ironic that during this time, obesity has risen dramatically in Americans, including young children. Chicken consumption isn’t the prime culprit, but it isn’t blameless either.
