Agreed. From what I know of the industry over here, they will usually only meet the lowest standard... and attempts to film in average intensive poultry farms wre refused while they claimed the chickens were well looked after.
Most industries will usually only strive to meet the lowest standard. That's why standards are typically set at acceptable levels (gasp i know. Why would the regulators do such a thing as demand acceptable levels.)
PS, veggie-eaters, your precious humane food wasn't farmed in less than lowest standard either. Even your organic companies are only going to strive to meet the lowest standards for organic after that. If doing more than that cuts into their profits, they aren't going to do it.
(I do assume you are refering to me as a veggie-eater and suggesting I eat organic food)
Have a clue about the assumptions you are making before you make them, I won't assume you are stupid then

flock-to-flock contamination is quite a problem if you're trying to not feed the birds antibiotics.

most domesticated animals don't eat what they'd "naturally" eat

true. But I think at this point we are getting away from commercially raised and more towards pets.
