Yesterday I posted about factory chicken farmers going broke. I figured that perhaps it would be a good idea to write up an explanation of how the broiler industry works as a whole. What is amazing is that under this system, you can raise an absolutely disgusting and unsustainable amount of chickens and still not make enough to live on.
