About this product
Product Information
Americans eat more chicken than any other meat. But our nation's favorite food comes with an invisible cost: its insidious effect on our health. In this provocative narrative, acclaimed journalist Maryn McKenna reveals the fascinating history of how the common backyard bird became an industrial commodity affecting human health around the world. Crucial to its meteoric rise: the routine use of antibiotics, a practice that would transform agriculture, change the world's eating habits, and contribute to the deadly rise of drug resistance around the globe. Taking readers from the first poultry farms to the little-known lab where the chicken nugget was invented and into today's factory farms, McKenna reveals that our taste for America's favorite meat is shaped by economics, politics, and culture as well as by appetite, it is a cautionary tale of placing too much trust in technology-but it also gives voice to the vanguard of farmers, chefs, and activists who are charting the path back to better food.
