They probably also give those chickens dihydrogenmonoxide (DHMO).
This is a chemical which is used in many industrial applications
(including nuclear reactors!) and which causes thousands if not
millions of deaths every year.  It is also regularly found in drinking
water in all parts of the world, but especially in the US - where we
also add toxins like flourine to our water.  It is regularly found in
the excised tumors of cancer patients, and is the major component in
acid rain.  I think we should be just as concerned about consuming too
much DHMO as we are about the amount of arsenic in our chickens.
