Geese are a-holes

Ask them also what are they being fed with. GM corn for example is probaly not good. Check into that as well.

I know one can't always go by what is on the packages. I'd like to talk directly to the farmer who sells them to the places I shop.

I used to work on chicken farms.
Some farms having thousands and thousands of chickens crammed together.
Some barns having over 100,000 of them.
The filth and smell is almost unbearable.
They basically stand around on their own feces and dead birds for 2 months and then crews come in and clear them out for slaughter.

I stopped eating chicken for a long time after that but chicken is so good I eat it now.

Of course. They say if you see how they make corned beef and hot dogs, you will never ear it.

I believe they have a similar expression about sausages! Best not to say what is in them, as some do like them.

Do you think a starving family in the third world (hell, even in the back country of Appalachia) would turn away a free goose, claiming it's "too greasy"?

That was the man's point, not that you should eat it yourself.

So the corrupted African governments didn't want to lose face with a handout eh?

They get handouts all of the time by many countries.

All African govts are corrupt. Neither do they care about their citizens. Most of the handouts and aid etc end up in the homes of family and friends and party members

Yes is the correct answer. Have you ever been to see how people live in some of those places, or seen documentaries that go deep into the severe poverty stricken slums in India, and Africa? It makes your blood crawl if you are accustomed to a decent western lifestyle. As long as the food and drugs in question do not kill them it should be fine, because many of them die young anyhow.
