Chickens, Produced the Industrial Way

John Oliver’s cutting humor highlights the scale and speed of modern poultry production, revealing how efficiency has overtaken animal welfare and worker safety as industry priorities. The video underscores the consolidation of corporate power in the chicken sector, where contract farmers bear financial risk while integrators reap profits. It illustrates how industrial systems externalize environmental and social harms…forcing workers and taxpayers to pick up the costs.
