Abstract
The introduction of domesticated animals into the Chesapeake Bay regions’ food system had profound consequences for the health of the ecosystem and its people. Draft animals provided the labor to clear and cultivate the majority of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed by 1900. Pigs brought by English colonists became important sources of food for both the settlers and native peoples. Initially, introduced chickens played a persistent but minor role in the food system. This changed with the development of the chicken for meat (broiler) industry on the Bay’s Delmarva Peninsula in the 1920s. The broiler industry pioneered the use of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and vertical integration of all aspects of production, a model now dominating the entire livestock enterprise. This propelled a 50% rise in per capita consumption of animal-based foods and attendant rise in human diseases, particularly coronary artery disease. Industrialization of chicken also increased its share of the animal products market sevenfold. The broiler industry pioneered the use of antibiotics as growth promoters, resulting in development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Poultry workers face various health problems, including increased rates of respiratory disease and certain cancers. The poultry industry is the major source of Salmonella poisoning. Broiler chickens suffer crowded and polluted conditions in CAFOs. These CAFOs dominate the landscape of the Delmarva, producing air and water pollution. Nitrogen as a waste product from the industry reaches the Bay and is a major source of eutrophication.
Lace up your boots and we’ll broom on down
To a knocked out shack on the edge of town
There’s an eight-beat combo that just won’t quit
Keep walkin’ ‘til you see a blue light lit
Fall in there and we’ll see some sights
At the house of blue lights
There’s fryers and broilers and Detroit barbecue ribs …
From the House of Blue Lights, a 1946 song by Don Raye and Freddie Slack (emphasis added). The song celebrates two of the food-animals brought to Jamestown by the English and changes wrought by World War II that inform and altered the food system of the Chesapeake Bay.
