The Fact about Chicken Meat

Chicken meat is healthier and cheaper than beef or lamb. Generally it takes about a single month to grow a chicken from hatchling to your meal plater. An astonishing 100 million tonnes of chicken is produced worldwide each year but where does it all come from?

According to a recent German study 96.4% of all chickens are doctored with antibiotics which is really the being missused as an alternative to doping.

Antibiotics, special feed and an artificial 20 to 24-hour-day can make them put on 1.45 kilogram in weight in just a month. In recent years breast meat has risen up from 9% to 18% of the total weight of a chicken. Therefore chickens have become so top heavy that they can hardly stand up fairly!
