Maryland chicken farmers are finally starting to be held accountable for messing up the Chesapeake Bay. This article provides some great details, even though it manages to repeat one of the more moronic memes about meat and protein:

Somebody needs to tell Mr. Winegrad that dried organic beans are a great protein source that can cost 50 or even 75 percent less than factory farmed chicken.
The piece also features this quote from an industry flack:
We’re also already doing our part when it comes to the environment.
Especially when it comes to messing up the environment. Link.
