Fairly sure that growth hormones are not used in UK and EU chickens

Edit. Also don't think gene modification as in messing with their DNA takes place either though chickens have changed through cross breeding

Edit. hope you enjoy your GMO soya and corn products

 

The appeal for the distressed German fan raised £36k! Her family have donated all of it to Unicef. Class.

They are fed with huge amounts of antibiotics though, even some banned in the US, which increases the chances of creating drug resistant diseases impacting on humans.

 

UK use halved between 2014 and 2018. Can't see the UK using anything that is so bad that they banned it in the USA.

The food industry is a real deep subject and as is often the case you're better off following the money to find the real story. Profit margins on soya, corn, and cereal products can be much higher than meat based products which is why some big players in that field Quorn, Kellogs, and grain merchants are so interested. Lab grown meat (what is that FFS) is also a potentially better return than growing an animal.

Oddly enough even though farming is claimed by some to be the worst cause of climate change and CO2 emissions, the greenwashing brigade are now paying farmers for carbon credits so they don't have to clean up their own act but still claim to be reducing their carbon footprint.

 

lot going on here, a lot of which I agree with

on use of antibiotics in chicken though the UK does allow use of fluoroquinolones which are banned in the US.

Too much for a forum like this! Saw a good quote the other day though, 'an intensively reared chicken has more room in the oven than it does in the shed'.

 

Chickens here roam freely, and as a tough as old boots when cooked.

 

Cock ****er

 

Overcooker?

 

Unless 'here' means in your own back garden?
Some exceptions, but the norm is more like this. (I know as ironically I used to work in similar) .... https://www.ciwf.org.uk/farm-animals/chickens/meat-chickens/#growth

 

No, "here" means around where I live. They often come in my garden, but they aren't mine. I live in rural Africa.
Livestock roam free, and so do chickens.

 

That's easy for you to say....

 

It is very easy to say, what's the problem?
