Yeah, that suprised me too.

4thTurning is misrepresenting what happened. He partnered with a family owned chicken farm that was on the border of going out of business anyways. They exposed that the industry which provides the farmers with hatchlings has a system where they rank farms based on arbitrary factors (including how much money the farm donates to them) and uses that rank to choose the quality of hatchlings sold to them. Which usually means the major farms with huge amounts of money get the good, healthy birds, and everyone else gets what's left over. The farmers KNEW what they were doing was going to be career suicide.

It also was not supposed to "turn people off" of eating animals. It talked about how marketing terms like "cage free" and "free range" are misleading terms. As to be "cage free" you can just cram as many birds as you can fit into a single shed provided none are in an actual cage. To be "free range" you merely have to provide the birds access to 15 square feet of uncovered area. He showed this by simply opening the door to his massive shed and putting a small area of chicken wire in front of it. He also talks about how selective breeding over the years have made standard chickens used in food grow so fast they lose the ability to walk, among other things.

What we DO know about Spurlock is that he was a soyfag vegetarian guy and his first movie was basically garbage. Also, yes, he was an extreme alcoholic. Tbh, the 2nd movie he made was worth watching. The first one, total garbage.
