Chicken Canibalism and Salmonella

This past weekend I learned that the majority of chicken sold is recycled chickens! What? A large portion of "nutrition" in a CAFO chicken diet is chicken parts (feathers too!). Now it makes sense, the salmonella "outbreak" I mean. Remember Mad Cow disease? That was cows eating cows that were infected the disease.

Here's an ingredient list I found on lionsgrip.com. Note the chicken content. I don't know what most of this stuff is...

INGREDIENTS: Ground Grain Products, Soybean Meal, Meat and Bone Meal, Corn Gluten Meal, Dehjydrated Alfalfa Crumbles, Cane Molasses, Granite Grit 1/2% maximum, Salt, Poultry Fat, Ethosyquin Preservative, Vitamin A Acetate, D-Activated Animal Sterol (Source of Vitamin D3), Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Choline Chloride, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Methionine Supplement, Propionic Acid (Mold Inhibitor), Manganous Oxide, Zinc Oxide, Ferrous Carbonate, Copper Oxide, Calcium Iodate, Cobalt Carbonate, Sodium Selenite.
