John Oliver just did an excellent piece on chicken fuckers just now.

Don't know if it is a rerun or what. Steve Womack is a chicken fucker.

It's a rerun.

1. It's a rerun, but he's still doing the best journalism on television today.

2. Do chicken farmers have a union?

[arcane1]

3. I doubt it, but they should have one. And the chickens too!

[lonestarnot]

4. Yes they should and they should start organizing to discuss tactics and strategies and stop being

afraid.

6. He really truly is.

8. It's almost like he should do only one show a month, to give us time to ponder the previous show

He and his crew have mastered the art of finding things we should know about but don't

9. You might have a point, but I just can't get enough. I feel like I'm having withdrawals tonight.

5. Check your chicken to see if it was "pumped"

The label might say something to the effect that "up to 15% broth" has been added. I believe most if not all of the big producers do this. I complained to a store about this, because at that store all of the chicken for sale has been pumped. I'm happy to say that now that store also carry chicken from a local producer that is not pumped (and they raise their own chickens). It is OK (sort of) if the label says there might be up to a few percent of retained water - this is a normal effect of how chicken is processed is the US.

7. This has been going on for decades at least.

Corporate control at its finest.
