[quote:Anonymous Coward 24106062:MV8xOTkzODQ5XzMzNTIxMzgxX0FCNTBCQjU1] I believe there's even more inorganic arsenic in the rice than in the chicken because the rice is like a sponge and sucks of several chickens' worth per same weight. [/quote]

The FDA's analysis showed average levels of 3.5 to 6.7 micrograms of inorganic arsenic per serving, while Consumer Reports found levels up to 8.7 micrograms. The FDA released 200 samples, while Consumer Reports tested 223.

US poultry industry has a disturbing habit of feeding arsenic to chickens. Arsenic, it turns out, helps control a common bug that infects chicken meat, and also gives chicken flesh a pink hue, which the industry thinks consumers want.
