For National Chicken Month, Farm Forward's partner organization, Better Food Foundation, is calling out chicken industry greenwashing and humanewashing schemes like One Health Certified in a new piece on Medium called "Chicken: The Natural Gas of Food." Help us fight this deceptive marketing by sharing the new piece on Facebook today!

Writes BFF Director of Corporate Outreach Katie Cantrell, "Just as natural gas is only 'clean' when compared to coal, so chicken is only 'environmentally friendly' when compared to beef. The carbon footprint of beef is roughly seven times that of chicken. But the carbon footprint of chicken is 11 times greater than that of lentils." 

She further critiques Big Poultry marketing schemes like Mountaire's OHC and partnerships with environmental advocates (like between Environmental Defense Fund and Tyson), writing, "By promoting the relative virtues of these 'better than' options, we expand their production, and thus entrench the systems required to produce them. Over nine billion chickens are bred and slaughtered in the US every year, 99 percent of whom are raised on factory farms." 

You can help stop the spread of industry humanewashing and greenwashing this National Chicken Month by giving the new Medium piece some claps—then sharing with your friends and family on Facebook!
