Author event: Maryn McKenna 'Big Chicken'

Calendar/Event Details

We often take for granted the ubiquity of chicken in the American diet. Acclaimed journalist Maryn McKenna bypasses our familiarity with a fascinating history of chicken in her book Big Chicken: The Incredible Story of How Antibiotics Changed Modern Agriculture and Changed the Way the World Eats. She takes the stage to share her chronicle of how economic, political, and cultural forces converged to make America’s favorite meat a hidden danger. Mary was interviewed on FRESH AIR, the NPR show.
