He was saying that "free range chicken" was a scam. Which many places is
true.
If you are worried about your food, meet your farmers. The people I know who
care about their food know the guy who grows their chickens and turkeys (rt
201 in Stonington, CT), knows where their vegetables and fruit come from
(various farmers around southeastern CT). Knows where their Buffalo and beef
comes from (upstate eastern CT). I am completely serious.
Now I am less demanding. I don't even know most of the people who COOK my
food, let alone grow it.
Great link, though. I'll read through it tonight with my foot up and on ice.

I used the names of the animals (ie. sheep instead of mutton) because
I don't eat it in any form - be it mutton or lamb.
It's not a political statement. I just find I don't really care for
meat much. I agree that the hormones un-nerve me a bit. We try to buy
organic dairy because of them. (Though we usually end up with
commercial cheese.)
I wouldn't agree that organic is arguably a scam. Organic producers
have to meet strict requirements. Here - read the 554 pages of
regulations for yourself:
