A Game of Chicken

Just happened to be channel surfing, and came across a "Good Eats: Reloaded" episode (2019) on chicken. In fact, left it to compose this. In the narration, Alton mentions the USDA requirements for "organic". They're rather extensive, and expensive. So, let's say that one of the agribusiness poultry oligarches calls up The Utterly Unhinged© and says that these requirements are cutting into profit. "Could you please tell USDA to lay off? We'll pay a nice fee to USDA (and you, of course), to cut back on the requirements. Waddaya say, big guy?"

USDA poultry organic requirements. Feel free to read them, if needed.
