The most important thing we can do for our health is to take control of our food and yet, it's one of the hardest things to do. Moreover, better food simply costs more, which leads to a lot of upset. But better always costs more, doesn't it? Take the Apple Phone vs a flip phone. You kinda get what you pay for, right?

In this mini episode I summarize what we learned on Tuesday during our conversation with Jillae Langman-Dalmolin. I also give some background on those $4.99 Costco Rotisserie Chickens, which are neither healthy nor ethical it turns out. In fact, Costco hides behind a billion dollar farming operation, refusing to sign the Better Chicken Commitment (betterchickencommitment.com) and defending itself against lawsuits for animal welfare violations. The USDA has accumulated numerous eye witness reports regarding animal welfare violations that cause needless suffering to their chickens. Moreover, the chickens seem like they should be healthy, right? I mean it's white meat. Not according to the facts though. The chickens are loaded with bad ingredients, not to mention how they are raised resulting in a chicken that offers poor nutrition.

So all of this will give you some food for thought the next time you reach for the rotisserie!
