Chicken tonight?

[Corco65]

No, it's not about a winger Boro have signed or play acting to win a fowl, and it's not about any board members with a similar name.

However, it is for those who eat Chicken and like it cheap, its quite disturbing article on how we treat animals, which has been legitimised by the state after a challenge. I guess it's not too dissimilar to how other animals are treated too, which, we should all be concerned about whether meat eaters or not.

I eat a lot of chicken. I wish i had space to keep my own to kill and eat rather than the very poor quality supermarket chicken

Worldwide, estimates suggest more than 70 billion chickens are killed each year, not including chickens killed by the egg industry.
An incredible number.

'We should be concerned'? hmmmm
Let's face it, people don't give a flying firk as long as they can get their chicken nuggets and sunday dinner

Yeah **** the chickens.

It's a funny one this. Worrying about the health of chickens that are going to be killed 5 or 6 weeks after being born.

Frankenchickens is ridiculously sensationalist. As the article says, it's from selective breeding taking place over decades, not an unnatural creation in a lab. A bit like dogs and all our other domesticated animals, breeding for a purpose.

I don't know. They do have stretch marks on. And they're filled full of water. You have to cook factory and free range differently because of this. But they are cheap. And people are skint. A 1.2kg factory chicken will cost £3:50 while a free range chicken will cost £14 so I'm not going to look down my nose at anyone eating them. They also better for the environment than the cow.

Ultimately affordability will prevail and we are all well aware of the increase in food prices and yes i put it down to greedflation

In the car yesterday (technically out?)
listening to a podcast about human intelligence and how we go on to abuse and destroy everything around us for our own short term gain.
Oh, what fun it was

That might be what you think, but the article says

"Campaigners argue that the speed of growth means the chickens can suffer from a wide range of health and welfare issues, including heart attacks, lameness, bone deformities, muscle diseases, burns and organ failure".

It’s mankind being absolutely schoite

I work in a business that has just announced a new policy that we will only sell chickens that have more space.
So, usually you get 38kg of birds per sq metre
By 2025
There will be 30kg of birds per sq metre
That’s 20% more space
This is the best in the industry

We announced the policy as a triumph
