PHI445 Week 4 Discussion, The Effects of Business on Consumers and the Environment: Case Study Perdue Farms
Perdue prides themselves in the freshness of their chicken, stating that “we go beyond what the USDA requires with extra inspections in American family-owned farms, refrigerated trucks that deliver daily, and everywhere in between” (PerdueChicken, 2014). Out of all the chicken consumed in the United States, Perdue produces the most. They have approximately 9,900 concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) which produce approximately 80% of the meat consumed by Americans- averaging 270 pound per person every year (Fieser, 2015). Hoover (2013) explains that these massive facilities that confine large numbers of animals have taken over independent farms as the primary source of not only meat, but eggs and dairy as well in the U.S.
