Eat Sleep Machines. Chickens!
Today there is about 266% more fat and only two-thirds of the protein in a piece of chicken than there was in 1971.
Chicken is generally considered to be a good source of lean protein and has been recommended by medical professionals as a healthier, lower-fat alternative to beef. However, chicken is not the health food it used to be. Some estimates say that the chicken we eat today contains up to 266% more fat. Chicken also has one-third less protein content.
As a way to keep pace with the demand for chicken while keeping costs down, commercial chickens are generally bred in a manner that encourages them to grow more quickly through increased food consumption. This has led to chickens that contain more fat and less protein than their counterparts from just a few decades ago. Chicken is the most commonly eaten form of protein in the US. Americans eat more chicken than consumers in any other country. An average of 83 pounds per person each year.
Twenty-seven times more chicken was produced in the US in 2014 than in 1950.
Nearly half of all chicken is processed into other products, rather than being sold whole or cut up into pieces. In 1962 less than 2% of chicken was processed.
I hear that we send CHINA our chicken, they package it and process it and send it back to the US.
INSANITY!
