Chicken soup is a soup made by boiling chicken parts or bones in water, with various vegetables and flavorings. The classic chicken soup consists of a clear broth, often served with small pieces of chicken or vegetables, or with noodles or dumplings, or grains such as rice and barley. Chicken soup has also acquired the reputation of a folk remedy for colds and flus, and in many countries including the United States is considered a classic comfort food.Strictly speaking the birds preferably used for soup are not chickens, but old hens and boiling fowl too tough and stringy to be roasted or cooked for a short time. In modern cities broilers are difficult to come by, and true chickens are often used to make soup; broilers are to be preferred when available.

From the article: "A U.N. report from just this past November found that a full 18 percent of global warming emissions come from raising chickens, turkeys, pigs, and other animals for food. That's about 40 percent more than all the cars, trucks, airplanes, and all other forms of transport combined."

I guess that means we should also stop raising cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys and whatever else it is this world eats as a source of meat because God knows we kill millions more of those in a year than pheasants. I love how someone 2000+ plus miles away think they need to judge us here or even put their .02 into our lives.

On Friday, August 18, 2006, the FDA approved viruses to be sprayed on our cold cuts, hot dogs, sausages, sliced turkey and chicken and sandwich meats. The purpose is to kill a certain bacteria that forms due to the poor conditions the animals are raised in. The long term effect to our health of ingesting live viruses is not known.
