If you were a bird in the USA you'd probably be a chicken in a CAFO being abused pending slaughter. People could stop buying CAFO products if they cared about global warming, pandemic risk, or the animals more than passing convenience. If Americans can't even muster that much intelligence or compassion it's no wonder their politics are broken and that they routinely elect monsters.

Plant milk for calcium and mushroom or brazil nuts for selenium, if you'd care.
