American farmer says she raised Tyson chickens and warns all Americans from buying Tyson chicken “We've raised these genetically modified birds that Tyson created. They're called Cornish Crosses. We've raised them here on our farm — they are the most gangly birds you've ever seen in your entire life. Tyson created them to grow really quickly” She goes over some health issues And she’s absolutely right, I did my own research and it’s bad Tyson uses Cornish Cross, these birds have been selectively bred for decades to grow extremely fast. Reaching market weight in 6–8 weeks compared to 16+ weeks for heritage breeds They have rapid growth problem and have severe welfare issues. Their bodies grow so fast that their legs, hearts, and organs can’t keep up. Common problems include: - Leg deformities, lameness, and broken legs - Heart failure and sudden death syndrome - They become so heavy they often sit at feeders and struggle to move or free-range effectively - Tyson raises them in high-density confinement, his leads to higher disease rates Hormones aren’t used but antibiotics are. The chicken is also rinsed in a chlorine solution before being sold The Cornish Cross breed is extremely controversial among animal welfare groups and farmers because of the health problems caused by its unnatural growth rate Our food in America is a science experiment Stuff like this is why everyone is sick and we have a chronic disease epidemic
