Default Re: Which food things make a difference, which don\'t?

el d,

I might comment on the others later but I have to weigh in on the free range poultry thing. IMHO, free range is way way better. The problem is there are a lot of people that think they have eaten free range chicken but actually havent. To meet the USDA requirement for free range, only a very small amount of outdoor space has to be provided for the poultry to roam in. This doesnt really counterbalance the crowded conditions that poultry is typically housed in. I grew up on a farm and Ive had "real" free range poultry, chickens that pretty much roamed where ever they desired. We didnt have turkeys, but I have eaten wild turkey, again, not comparable to farm raised turkey.
