While I’m glad that some consumer groups are calling on the FDA to ban the use of chicken feces as cattle feed, I can’t help but wonder why some people don’t seem think it’s just as gross to feed themselves the flesh of dead animals.
When people eat animals and their “byproducts,” they’re also eating the crap (literally!) that the animals ate. Not to mention the antibiotics that the animals were fed, which can lead to antibiotic resistance.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but every time I see an article like this, it reminds me that many people still have no idea about what they eat. I hope the FDA bans chicken feces as feed, for the sake of humans and animals, but I’d rather see people feeding themselves vegan food! See www.VegCooking.com for recipes.

There is no conclusive evidence to support this theory.
And yes chicken litter is some times added to cattle feed because bovines can convert the nitrogen to protein. But with the high cost of pretroleum based fertilizers, most chicken litter is used to feed plants. EWWWWW! How gross. I am eating plants that were fed chicken feces.
