Meanwhile:
The Obama administration is on the verge of dramatically scaling back the US Department of Agriculture's oversight of the nation's largest chicken and turkey slaughterhouseswhile also allowing companies to speed up their kill lines.
Currently, each factory-scale slaughterhouse has four USDA inspectors overseeing kill lines churning out up to 140 birds every minute. Under the USDA's new plan, a single federal inspector would oversee lines killing as many as 175 birds per minute. That would mean there are three fewer inspectors for a production line running 25 percent faster. (The line rates at turkey slaughterhouses are, for obvious reasons, slower, but would also be sped up under the new rules).

On the way there, every time, my Mom would remind us: "Shut up and eat what she puts in front of you."

Also, it's just a chicken foot, no more of a problem than if it were a wing or drumstick.

(25,183 posts)whoever it was at the store who unpacked them from the supplier, and who had one more opportunity to check when it was placed on a store shelf. Seems like a lot of people just didn't give a damn.
