      Was thinking more about cameras from journalists or other organizations

      Their ads usually don’t show them inside even when they live there

      Bringing up a Tyson competitor, the farm manager wonders how other poultry companies handle supposedly free-range-raised chickens. The short answer: They don’t, really.

      “Those birds don’t go outside — you know that,” the technician replies. “They don’t all go out … Look that up online.”

      The manager chimes in: “It’s not like they make it like all of ’em come out and enjoy the sun.”

      “That is strictly for commercial [advertising] purposes,” the technician says. “They pick the prettiest birds [for commercials] and they toss ’em out in the grass.”

        A couple generations from now, I bet this’ll be unthinkable to those who’ve only ever known lab grown meat. I can’t wait.

          In the mean time, there’s plenty of plant-based meats along with plant-based dishes and the like. If we only wait for cultured meat, harm will continue to be done
