Re: How many miles does the average chicken travel, I wonder?

I don't have that specific answer, but some statisticians did figure out recently that the average distance traveled by any morsel of food on the American plate is 1,200 miles*. That's a lot of diesel.

To me, that is a stunning statistic. If we were to think strategically, this is a vastly greater threat to national security than are a handful of incensed Arabs in Fallujah.

[* I first read this statistic in Grist Magazine's online version. I'm not able today to find the exact citation... grist.org ]

How did that russo-US chickenwar really turn out??

Sometimes a chicken flies very far, although in a frozen form??

Often they fly even farther.
