Egg Industry damage control (published in USA Today): "The chickens live in 27.7-inch-by-22.6-inch cages, eight to a cage. The cages are 19 inches tall, says [redacted], the farm's founder. "I made them extra tall because I wanted them to have more room." The six rows of cages are stacked on top of each other, in lines 277 cages long." This "farm" exploits 1M chickens. The article also reports that caged birds are 400% more likely to have salmonella infections.

It was butchering day for our summer flock of Pekin ducks last Friday, August 27th. Our free-ranging ducks looked well-fattened and filled out nicely, weighing in at 4 1/2-5 1/2 pounds each. We have a limited number of fresh-frozen ducks available for purchase at $4.50/lb.; liver and heart for making duck pate is included in this weight and price. Contact Briarmead Farm to reserve your succulent whole Pekin duck now!

Egg Recall reaches half-BILLION. Salmonella is transmitted via rodent feces in chicken feed; does it surprise you to learn that the mega producer responsible for the outbreak had an _exemption_ from the FDA to require the vertically integrated feed operation to be inspected?

Stumbled on this good Mainstream Media primer on the "High Cost of Cheap Food" - good to pass along to your skeptical friends.

"Label Rouge" method pastured Chickens are the traditional way to grow poultry so that the birds are healthy and the meat is more flavorful and finer grained. These birds are available in limited quantities from Second Wind and Notting Hill.

Relatively low-level exposure to common pesticides -- probably from residues on foods -- doubles kids' risk of ADHD, Harvard researchers find.

Kids with higher-than-average levels of pesticide metabolites were about twice as likely to have ADHD as kids with undetectable levels of pesticide metabolites, find Marc C. Weisskopf, PhD, ScD, associate professor of environmental health and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health, and colleagues.

"This raises concerns that ubiquitous pesticides may be contributing to the national burden of ADHD, which already is quite high,"
