Would "Healthier" Chickens Harm the Environment? Would raising chickens more slowly -- keeping them alive for 7 or 8 weeks, say, instead of 5 or 6 weeks -- be a welfare improvement that would inflict more harm on the environment than the industry already causes?

Is Chicken Healthier Than Red Meat? The color of meat is irrelevant. The choice between red meat versus poultry or fish is about as much of a choice as between foodborne illness and cancer. Fortunately, there's a better choice.
