    Wow, is your chicken in America really that bad? Here in Australia most of our chicken (yep, even nuggets) is made from very low or un processed real chicken. Our chicken farms here are some of the cleanest places I have seen (excluding the feathers everywhere). And yes, I have seen chicken farms live first hand an many occasions.

    That's because Australia is the land of magic and honey!! Every place in the world is better than the USA!!!

    Well yes Australia is the land of magic and honey!! You've been! Its not that every where is better than the USA, its just that Australia is better than everywhere else:tongue:

    Australia isn't better than Ireland. All our criminals used to be deported to Australia in the past. :laugh:

    I went to Salon.com and read the article directly from the source. The OP only posted some of it. But in a nutshell, the same place that brings you your iPhones and air you can see is now going to be making your chicken soup and nuggets.

    Although the article was obviously an opinion piece and not news per se, it does reaffirm my decision to eat foods mostly from scratch. I can't afford the organic meats or local eggs at the moment, but I sure as heck am not interested in eating any nuggets or other frozen chicken selections from China. Eeek! :sick:

    Consumption of chicken meat in the UK reflects the obesity trend - up by a factor of 4 in 40 years.

    How is this relevant to your OP?

    Also, why don't you look closer to home...you eat ham, tuna and rather a lot of salmon.

    All the food is poison. All the food is poison.

    The carrots, the peas, the celery sticks, the meat and the fish will make you sick

    All the food is poison. All the food is poison.

    Apples tomatoes, wheat and the corn, all the food is poison. Don’t eat the food, its poison food

    This thread is a great example of the old saying:

    "You can lead sheeple to uncomfortable facts but you can't make them think or even give a damn."

    Honestly, OP, trying to bring up a serious matter of conscience on a site devoted either to the desperately out-of-control morbidly obese or to vain, OCD calorie-counting, mirror-gazing, narcissistic, consumeristic dieters who have so little going on in their everyday lives that they have enough time on their hands to dilly dally on the forum of their calorie app for goodness sake. LOL. No wonder most of the responses were kindergarten-level, arts & crafts half-jokes being the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and screaming " la la la "

    If you can't be vacuous and superficial, addressing masses of consumers who have long lost both any semblance of traditional, common-sense food culture or the ability to care about more of the world than just their own little personal gains and ego, while discussing only the remedial mechanics of eating, moving, weighing yourself, measuring yourself and looking at yourself twenty times a day in the mirror, then you have no business posting here! ;)

    I just want to know when Minnie is going to start posting about all the e.coli and salmonella outbreaks caused by vegetables.

    Oh that's right, Minnie's just a biased copy pasta troll, so that side of the fear mongering will never get shown...

    1. I have personally been laid flat by listeria poisoning from bad salad greens. Not e coli and salmonella, but food poisoning just the same. I didn't even know it was possible to get food poisoning from vegetables. I know better now.:noway:

    2. I THOUGHT I recognized the OP's style of pasting an inflammatory "article" in the forums without any sort of analysis/description/tagline/further commentary. :yawn:

    Well I'm safe because "all" clearly just means people in the USA, since this article is about the USA not the world and I'm in the UK. Woo hoo :laugh:

    No what is killing us is the hormones that are being injected to our animals, the GMOs on our crops, the fake this and the fake that. THAT is what slowly kills us all.

    So in a nutshell we are as deep as puddles....not the first time that's been said about me...

    As for chicken killing me...does that mean we are all committing slow deliberate suicide??? If so call our insurance companies so that they don't pay out our policies when we are on our death beds (in the decades to come).....

    *rolls eyes and shakes head nomming on the chicken from last night*
