Chicken Media Summit 2013 makes the case for transparency
When I first started covering the industry, the prevailing logic was that the average consumer doesn’t want to know where his or her food comes from. All they cared about was that the food was nutritious and affordable, and that it tasted good.
Chicken Media Summit 2013: The importance of animal source foods
It is only fitting that protein would take the center stage at the opening of the 2013 Chicken Media Summit. Not only was chicken the delicious main course at the opening reception/dinner, but it was also a central part of the keynote address that discussed the role of protein in providing the needed nutrients to the growing world population.
