Fairfood Friday #65

Every Friday we round up the most interesting, inspiring or funny stories we came across while conducting research for our news stories. This week: Arsenic in Our Chicken? Inspired by our ‘chicken weeks’ of Open Up, we have dug up some chicken meat related recipes which advocate for the use of responsibly sourced chicken meat, and some news stories.

Have you read something we should know about? Please let us know in the comments.

Arsenic in Our Chicken?
Let’s hope you’re not reading this column while munching on a chicken sandwich. Why? Read on.

Using the Whole Chicken
“I feel that people have lost the art of making multiple meals out of a whole chicken or joint of meat.

From One Chicken Breast, Many Meals
If you have seen Robert Kenner’s excellent and disturbing movie, “Food Inc.,” then you may already have crossed chicken off your list of acceptable foods. Or, like me, you may have resolved to seek out chicken that has been raised in a humane way, not mass-produced and industrially processed like most supermarket poultry.
