The chicken is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the Red Junglefowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals with a population of more than 24 billion in 2003, there are more chickens in the world than any other species of bird. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs. The traditional poultry farming view of the domestication of the chicken is stated in Encyclopædia Britannica : "Humans first domesticated chickens of Indian origin for the purpose of cockfighting in Asia, Africa, and Europe. Very little formal attention was given to egg or meat production... " Recent genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in Southeast, East, and South Asia, but with the clade found in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa originating in the Indian subcontinent.
What’s for dinner? Michael Pollan book takes it one step further: “What is in the dinner?” The book back tracks from the dinner table, step by step process to rebuild in corn additives back to food status. He realized that Americans are actually corn fed animals too. After reading chapter 1, it’s obvious that no one knows what they’re actually eating anymore. I recently headed out to the supermarket; check the labels on about 15 to 20 products.

The way I will spend the one million dollars is, 600,000 dollars in food safety,300,000 child labor dollars in, and 100,000 dollars in woman's suffrage. Rats, poison, spit, dirt and sawdust all going into the meat we eat everyday. Meat inspection is a part of everyone's daily lives, they eat meat at breakfast, lunch and at dinner, and the things put into the meat we consume daily is horrifying. “ Meat would be stored in great piled in rooms; and the water from the leaky roofs would drip over it, and thousands of rats would race about on it.” (Upton , Sinclair. "The Jungle."
Their main competitor would be KFC who is ranked number one in the chicken field, and overall for the quick service field McDonalds ranks number one. KFC keeps hold of the number one spot based on the fact that they have a wider variety of fried Chicken, and the more important reason being that they are a bigger franchise than Chick-fil-a is. Chick-fil-A is affected by a few different government regulations one being food regulations through the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, for the food that they serve. They would also be set up for regular visits, yearly or every six months, from the health inspector from the county they are in to make sure they are keeping their store clean and up to code. They would also have to keep up with the different taxes they are required to pay to the government and state for the business as well as their employees.
A turducken is a de-boned turkey loaded down with a de-boned duck, which itself is loaded down with a little de-boned chicken. The depression of the chicken and whatever is left of the holes are loaded with, no less than, an exceedingly prepared breadcrumb blend (albeit a few variants have an alternate stuffing for every winged creature). Fossil proof demonstrates that turkeys meandered the Americas 10 million years prior. 91% of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day. There are provincial contrasts with regards to the "stuffing" (or "dressing") generally presented with the turkey.

There are over 15 billion farm animals in the world, and together they weigh more than 1.5 times the total weight of the world’s human population (Leckie, 1999). The United States alone has 9 billion farm animals, which together weigh 5 times as much as the US’s human population (Pimentel & Pimentel, 2003). Americans eat 10 billion animals every year, with a family of four averaging 120 chickens, four pigs and one cow (Walker, Rhubart-Berg, McKenzie, Kelling, & Lawrence, 2005). At an average of 124 kg of meat per person per year, the United States leads way in meat consumption (Fiala, 2007), but other countries are catching up – meat consumption increased by 300% between 1950 and 1994 (Leckie, 1999), doubled from 1992 to 2007, and is set to be 72% higher in 2030 than in 2000 (Fiala, 2007). The increase in meat consumption can be attributed to population growth (worldwide population is doubling every 40 years (Kendall & Pimentel, 1994)) as well as to increasing per capita rates of consumption as people in developing countries become wealthier (McMichael, Powles, Butler, & Uauy, 2007; Steinfeld, Gerger, Wassenaar, Rosales, & de Haan, 2006).
