There’s more to chicken than meets the eye and it’s not just Bird Flu or the prospect of sprouting wings yourself for eating chicken breakfast, lunch and dinner (throw in merienda for that matter) almost everyday of the week.
Fried chicken, chicken inasal, chicken adobo, chicken sandwich, chicken afritada, buffalo wings, and maybe even chicken-flavored lollipop if there was such a thing — people are completely enamored with chicken that more volumes of recipe books were written about this meat than any other else.
But there is one thing that people may not be aware of, and that they have been putting themselves at risk every day by eating chicken bought from fast foods or dressed chicken from grocery stores. Aside from the fact that commercially grown chicken are kept in very terrible living conditions, inhaling the fumes from their own poop, and are laden with fat, sugar, and salt but low in fiber and vitamins, these chickens can also be pumped with a deadly metalloid – arsenic.
