Pork used to feed chickens

Jump to Comments

This has come up, and some religions have commented that this means they won’t be able to eat the chicken, because by proxy, they will be eating pork, which is forbidden by them.

I’ve heard some point out, that through the chain of life, you are bound to eat something that is a byproduct of pigs already, you just don’t realize it.

My general idea is that if this gets more press, it will give the industry one more thing to put on the packaging to promote it over others “no pork byproducts used!”. The rest of us will just eat the just as (un)healthy chicken that is cheaper.

Plus with food prices going up, people are looking to save money where they can. No politician would try to get in the way of something like that.
