Thanks for posting this. Do you know how many are expected to attend? I looked at their website. I saw that this is the first part of their mission statement: Our Mission We believe in the power of ONE. ONE person can make a massive difference in our world. ONE encouraging word can bring a dream into reality. Your potential is greater than any circumstance!

Is the avatar pic one of you?

Can a member nominate two members for one category?

Surepip, there you go again calling people fools if they have any interest other than the positition of the poultry industy that you stated so clearly: (1) Sell More Chicken Sell more chicken at what expense to the public? The FDA believes that there is a connection to antibiotic resistant bacteria and the poultry industry. They don't believe that it is the only reason for the growth of the resistant bacteria, but they do not believe in waiting any longer to take action to protect the health of the public.

You can get one copy for free at their office next to Staples. There is a fee for additional copies.

Surepip, I will NOT stand by and let you call p.com members fools. Some of the members here stated that they are interested in food safety issues. Just because you disagree it is rude and disrespectful to call them or anyone else here "fools." Some members mentioned that Food, Inc. was a source of information for them. You disagreed with their choice and said that, "a great deal of what is represented in Food Inc. is plain and simply not true, and or terribly exaggerated." That's no reason to label someone a "fool." Just because you have specialized knowledge does not mean that you are su

Because of the fire people worked to improve conditions: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City on March 25, 1911, was the deadliest industrial disaster in the history of the city of New York and resulted in the fourth highest loss of life from an industrial accident in U.S. history. The fire caused the deaths of 146 garment workers, who either died from the fire or jumped to their deaths. Most of the victims were recent Jewish and Italian immigrant women aged sixteen to twenty-three;[1][2][3] th

I have seen some members regularly post that an idea is a bad one because it has not been proven or is different.

Surepip, you represent the poultry industry. I do not. It is your work and source of income and has been for many years. My posts are about what some consumers are concerned about in the poultry industry. They are posted so that those here can judge for themselves what is important to them in the foods they choose.

None of my previous posts mentioned the word "hormone." You continue to mention PETA. Are you saying that the FDA is controled by PETA? You continue to avoid serious consumer issues. The fact is the FDA is concerned about excessive use of antibiotics in the poultry industry. There is a lot of concern about the growth of superbugs: bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics: This was written approximately 10 days ago. It states that "Last year, the Food and Drug Administration issued voluntary guidance suggesting excessive use of antibiotics to grow bigger poultry and livestock 'pose

Surepip, I noticed that your last post did not say anything about the concern many have regarding the arsenic found in chickens. This explains more about it. Although the article is dated 2004, Maryland is currently considering a ban of arsenic in poultry feed in their state as described in the previous article: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Marketing Manager 919-653-2582 5 January, 2004 High Levels Of Arsenic In Chicken May Require Adjustment in Consumption Study in Environmental Health Perspectives Reveals Young Chickens Have Highest Level of Arsenic [RESEARCH TRIANGLE

Surepip, I have not mentioned anything about hormones. There you go again bringing up PETA. Why? I have linked the statements I made to Associated Press and many other unbiased sources that have no financial interests regarding how much poultry is sold. They are simply stating the facts---so consumers can be better informed.

I'd like for everyone to have healthier food to choose from; whether it's something I eat or not.

The point is that several people have posted in this thread that they are concerned about what is in their food.

Many are also concerned about arsenic in poultry feed. According to one study, most grocery store chicken and 100 percent of fast food chicken has detectable levels of arsenic. A ban has been proposed in Maryland: Will Maryland Stop Feeding Arsenic to its Chickens? by Kristen Ridley · March 07, 2011 Want some arsenic with that chicken? Maryland doesn't. Or at least that's what we all hope. On March 1, the Maryland Senate heard testimony on SB 417 (PDF), a proposed ban on the disturbingly common practice of putting arsenic in poultry feed. Patty Lovera, Assistant Direct

It's the FDA that's the authority. The FDA and others want improvements to be made for the benefits of everyone's health.

Where in this thread did you state that the poultry industry uses antibiotics? From reading the posts here it seems clear that some members got the wrong idea from reading your comments in this thread. The articles I quoted have nothing to do with PETA. Trying to discredit the articles by playing the PETA card over and over again is not going to change the facts. The FDA has nothing to do with PETA yet they are concerned that "excessive use of antibiotics to grow bigger poultry and livestock 'poses a serious public health threat.'"

Johnny Jacobs is in the p.com BOPPER group so here's something from the Big Bopper: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b-by5e4saI&feature=related

Cherokeewoman, you say you do not want meat fed with antibiotics. This was written approximately 10 days ago. It states that "Last year, the Food and Drug Administration issued voluntary guidance suggesting excessive use of antibiotics to grow bigger poultry and livestock 'poses a serious public health threat.'" Slaughter says new report bolsters case for action on antibiotics By Julian Pecquet - 03/17/11 01:58 PM ET A new inter-agency report on the threat from antibiotic resistance bolsters the case for Congress to restrict the use of antibiotics in agriculture, Rep. Louise Slaug

Yes, the article was dated 2008. Why is that so important? The label being used by the company at that time described their poultry as "raised without antibiotics." The USDA said the label was not "truthful and accurate." The article said that the company planned to stop using the labels. I didn't see anything about the use of antibiotics being changed. I posted the article so people would know the truth about the antibiotics being used in the poultry industry: ..The world's largest meat producer used gentamicin on its poultry, which has been administered for more than 30 years in

It's good to be informed. I like to check multiple sources; especially if it's something important. This article is about a federal lawsuit over one company labeling its poultry as "raised without antibiotics." The USDA said the label was not "truthful and accurate." USDA says Tyson used antibiotics on chicken Poultry producer being sued by competitors for labeling practices LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday that Tyson Foods Inc. routinely gave chickens an antibiotic that can be used in humans, even though the company had defended its "raised

I just looked at the photo again. I don't see a single person. So all of the houses in the photo are abandoned?

5000 acres is a big farm. Celery is one vegetable I like to buy organic because sources say it's one of the vegetables most likely to have pesticide residues. It does cost some more usually, but I'm willing to pay the extra. Ocasionally it will have a small amount of insect damage, but I just cut that off.

I don't know the results from this study at University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, but from the title I would think that they believe improvements can be made: How to eliminate salmonella bacteria from the poultry production process 17 Sep 2005 - 17:00 PDT A team of researchers in the newly-formed Department of Population Health at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine has launched a study to determine how to eliminate salmonella bacteria from the poultry production process. "What we're trying to do is trace salmonella through the food chain, so
