Chicken, organic vs not organic
My older sister buys everything organic, she is crazy about pesticides and free range and organic and all that sh!t.
is there any difference when it comes to chicken? I buy the 4kg boxes from costco and the 4kg from safeway when they are on sale

From my research, chicken is the least effected by this so if you had to choose, make sure you try to get beef products organic.
In general though, if you can afford it, get organic, otherwise it'll be fine. Start by getting veggies/fruits organically, then beef and milk prodcuts, then chicken, fish, etc.

For fish I am super lucky. I live in beautiful British Columbia, Canada and in the summer the fish run plenty. If you have ever seen any river fishing (salmon) on tv it was probably done in or around Terrace and Kitimat. Anyways my freezer will be full of fish in a few weeks, vacuumed sealed and ready to eat at any time of the year. FOR CHEAP!

I agree more than anything. I always buy organic when I can afford it.
My attempt is to give a ranking if you had to choose what to buy based on income and the largest effect it would have on you. It's not cheap to buy everything Organic (yet), so if you had to choose, thats what I've read/researched.

Factory farmed chickens would have to be the most drugged up creatures on the planet.
Apart from the copious amounts of steroids & antibiotics these broilers are subjected to, their living conditions aren't too flash & there's quite a bit of suffering going down. I'm staunch on animal rights in regards to quality of life, cruelty & welfare of all animals & some of the sh!t I've seen makes me sick. This is an interesting watch: Official Food, Inc.

[quote=TheHorseman;661231]Really? Kind of funny - a guy that works from me used to be a chef and he talks about when they'd get the crates of chicken breasts, the breasts would be sometimes 2 feet wide. I grew up in the hills of Tennessee where fkrs have chickens in their yards - I've NEVER SEEN A FKN CHICKEN THAT BIG...

the one thing I do know about chicken, which is scary is that there is arsenic in non organic chicken feed, that freaks me out, they do that to make the chicken get fatter, plus the chickens are more fat and less lean meat cause there stuck in a cage all day~erica
