KFC drops pledge to stop using ‘Frankenchickens’ in the UK. Chain says it won’t be able to stop buying fast-growing breeds by 2026 because poultry industry cannot supply enough higher-welfare animals

1. I don’t really get how this is legal.

   If they can only get so many chickens, they can only sell so many chickens. Tough shit.

2. I hate how we’ve become diet America

3. It’s actually quite disgusting the amount you can buy a whole chicken for.

   No wonder they live like shit, have poor welfare, increasingly taste bad, and have an inedible texture when we’re pumping out whole birds for £3 a pop.

   It’s also then no wonder why lots of family farms aren’t that profitable because Brits have convinced themselves of the need for our food to be as cheap as it is. I’d actually rather it cost a little bit more if the welfare and food standards were a bit higher. Nobody needs meat that cheap.

4. You can either have good quality meat from animals that have been cared for, or you can have cheap meat. You can’t have both. The line in between is also being blurred where once well-understood terms like “organic”, “free-range” and “grass-fed” are being stretched.

   If you want to continue consuming any animal-based products, and you genuinely care about animals in the food chain, you really need to do some deep research and stump up some cash.

   Or cut these things out of your diet.
