It's a shame. Perdue managed to get wway from antibiotics but KFC went the other way.

Maybe it is not a big deal? Chicken goes through withdrawal period and level of residue is tested in end product, supposedly..

I was reading today that we have managed to grow chickens with so much fat that the meat is less healthy than red meat.

Interesting that the pledge is about fast growing vs normal growing chicken. Does the UK not have the overcrowded cage conditions we have here in the US?

The complaint is about these companies not wanting to reduce their profit margins, but how slowly do the other chickens grow? Are we doubling maturity time or increasing it by 10%? Doubling would probably impact consumer prices beyond what could be absorbed by eliminating the margin.

Most lay opinions I can find online claim the fast growing birds to have inferior meat quality. I wonder if I could distinguish in a blind taste test.

I recently had a discussion with my wife and we check our bank records to find out how long it's been since we've been to a KFC, McDonalds or Burger King. Apparently it's been 16 months now.

It's overpriced, unhealthy and American. Enough reasons to not go.

High streets are dying, pretty sure half the restaurants closest to me are either closed or going to close down soon.
