On chickens in Missoula
A quick quote from Wendell Berry:
“And nowhere now is there a market for minor produce: a bucket of cream, a hen, a few dozen eggs . … Those markets were done away with in the name of sanitation …. We have always had to have ‘a good reason’ for doing away with small producers, and in modern times the good reason has often been sanitation, for which there is apparently no small or cheap technology….it is one of the miracles of science and hygiene that the germs that used to be in our foods have been replaced by poisons.”
Wendell Berry. “The Unsettling of America.” 1977. Avon Books
