The Mystery of 597 Million Missing Chickens in the U.S. Food Chain

A report by Animal Equality reveals that 597 million chickens in the US die before reaching the food supply annually, highlighting significant food waste and animal welfare issues. These deaths occur due to diseases, rough handling, and breeding practices that prioritize rapid growth, leading to health problems. The reduction in antibiotic use, aimed at combating antibiotic resistance, has also contributed to rising mortality rates. The poultry industry faces challenges in balancing animal welfare, public health, and production efficiency, with some companies like Perdue Farms adopting measures to reduce mortality without antibiotics.

Scientists Unravel the Chicken-or-Egg Evolutionary Puzzle

Scientists from Geneva University have potentially resolved the age-old question of whether the chicken or the egg came first. Their research on the single-celled organism Chromosphaera perkinskii, found in Hawaiian marine sediments and dating back over a billion years, suggests that the genetic mechanisms for egg development existed long before chickens evolved. This indicates that eggs, as reproductive structures, predate the emergence of chickens by a significant margin.

Scientists Solve the Chicken or Egg Origin Mystery

Scientists from Geneva University have concluded that the egg came before the chicken, based on research into Chromosphaera perkinsii, a single-celled species found in marine sediments around Hawaii. This organism, which existed over a billion years ago, forms multicellular structures similar to animal embryos, suggesting that the genetic mechanisms for creating eggs existed long before chickens appeared around 300 million years ago.

Chick-fil-A Reverses 'No Antibiotics' Pledge Due to Supply Shortages

Chick-fil-A is dropping its "no antibiotics ever" pledge for chicken due to supply concerns, adopting a less-stringent standard that allows the use of some antibiotics not important to human medicine. This move comes as sourcing antibiotic-free chicken becomes more difficult, with other major fast-food chains also adhering to similar rules. While relaxing antibiotic standards, Chick-fil-A maintains other quality standards for its chicken supply, such as using only real, white breast meat with no added fillers, artificial preservatives, or steroids.
