People just eat way too much chicken. The numbers of chicken consumed every year in most western nations is astounding. And those poor birds, the way they are packed to the point of not even being able to walk while they are raised, it's really a lot more disgusting than the final product shown in this article.
- jerguismi 10y agoDo you think red meat is better? I've been trying to avoid red meat lately for health reasons, and it is very difficult because for many restaurant major of the items seem to contain red meat. I end up eating lots of chicken and fish. Going vegetarian would be probably best...
- GFischer 10y agoNot all red meat is raised like chicken. Here in Uruguay, cows are free ranging, and it's some of the best meat in the world (they're also individually tracked, etc... that means you can track the individual animal but it also makes it more expensive like most "organic" food :) ).
- problems 10y agoChicken is also significantly better from a carbon emissions perspective too I believe.

So if you're going to eat meat, chickens are a good choice in this way at least.
- hellofunk 10y agoI typically stick just to freshly caught fish from the coast. Looks like even canned or farmed fish is just as emissions-bad as chicken.
