The really big players in the poultry business. They are so big that one might think they dabble in Monkey business as well. 

In North America especially in the USA and Canada Cargill is involved with beef slaughtering and pigs as well I did haul raw product for them and they are very well managed.

Cargill also by grain bin from farmers in Saskatchewan so they are taking full control of the food chain or part of it.

More chicken nuggets for McDonalds then...

There's a fortune to be made from the water alone they pump into the chickens. Like 150 baht per kilo and more. Water in a bottle is cheap compared to water pumped into food products like chicken and bacon etc.

Buy bacon at Foodland or any other Thai supermarket and put it in the pan and see how much water comes out of it before it begins to fry properly.

There are rogues galore within the Thai food industry.

Your getting a lot of sizzle for your bahts?? You better wear safety glasses when frying.

Buy a block of bacon in Foodland and loads of water already drips out if you open the (double) plastic packaging.
