Burger King was one of the few fast-food chains that refused to disclose ingredients until releasing them quietly this year. The Whopper contains multiple seed oils, processed sugars, and preservatives across 85 total ingredients, with the bun including potassium iodate -- banned in Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand -- and mono and diglycerides that cause gut inflammation. The Royal Chicken Spicy Sandwich runs to 120 ingredients, including dimethylpolysiloxane antifoaming agents also found in Silly Putty, silicone dioxide nanoparticles that may inflame the human gut, and three different sauces with one containing over 25 ingredients on its own.
I have a mini-poll for readers of this thread. Are there any others here who simply cannot or will not eat chicken any more? A few years ago after failing to choke down a truly awful chicken wing the camel's back broke for me and that was it. Chicken of all forms was off my menu. It actually wasn't a sudden decision. Over the past twenty years I have noticed that the quality of mass produced chicken meat has gradually degraded both in taste and texture, to the point where, to me, it went from not so good anymore to truly inedible. I'm talking about without any spices and flavorings to mask the taste except perhaps salt and pepper. Today's product is so far removed from the experience of a roasted chicken I know from my youth it might as well be synth-meat. (Turkeys too, but less so.) At extended family gatherings I tried to explain that chickens are not how they used to be. Interestingly, no one else claimed to have noticed. Long gradual changes slip past most people's attention.
For the record I did not grow up on a farm, but in a medium sized city surrounded by many Mennonite farmers who supplied to our markets. So I can really relate to Mike Rowe's episode of Sombody's Gotta Do It Quest to Discover a Better Chicken.
Okay, good, another frog who has also noticed. I do like that free range poultry is still available in limited quantities. In spirit I'm sympathetic to the organic/regenerative practices farming movement. But whenever I hear people advocating for it I can never shake out of my head the scaling problem. We're stuck between not so good food that can be mass produced versus good food that cannot be scaled up to support the population size. This leaves it as a niche market for those able and willing to pay considerably more.
It has been stated elsewhere that the elites against whom we are engaged in battle over the future of humanity exist off of a completely separate food supply from the rest of us. I don't mean the pedovore habit. I mean free range cattle sourced from Argentina, etcetera. When it comes down to it I don't think it is over-population per se that they so thoroughly against, but that we commoners are using up too much of "their" land, much of it in the service of food production. Cattle has always been at the top of their hit list.

A very valid problem, though there are also absolutely negative choices they make that are blatantly unnecessary toward that problem.
The roasted chickens in groceries are terrible, but they’re also about to go bad.
We raise and harvest all of our chicken and turkey for reasons such as the ones you mentioned. The size of store bought chicken breasts is abnormal.
For our family of 5 we harvest 30 chickens twice a year. Just today, we butchered 2 turkeys and 12 chickens.
Admiration. Sounds like for your family "know where your food comes from" is as close as looking out the back door. Self-supply farming is a difficult life for the amount of labor and consistency of attention involved, not to mention the ever present threat of crop or flock or herd failure.
Amusing sidelight I'll share. Many years ago my cousin Sue said to me: I'll marry any kind of farmer no matter what ... as long as he's not a pig farmer.
Thank you, we take pride. We call it our little mini farm. Everything we have is miniature, even the horse. Which brings me to what your cousin said, I completely agree with the pig comment. We do two pigs a year. The best breed to raise that aren’t too destructive and gross are the Kune Kune. They are smaller and sweeter (in disposition and flavor) lol. We make the comment that our animals only have one bad day……
Are there any others here who simply cannot or will not eat chicken any more?
Not sure about frens here at GAW, but sources say the vast majority of males (soy boys) over on bluesky say they won't eat chicken, but they sure love to choke it....
I don't buy chicken at restaurants anymore. Most of the chicken I eat, is chicken wings, that I get from a local meat distributor, and cook on my Weber kettle grill.
My wife and adult daughters will get chicken a lot when we go out to eat, but they haven't complained about it any.
I'm sorry but what? I searched your saying "advent of the faggot burger" and a bunch of Human meat, Alien meat information popped up. Where do you suggest I start looking for this rabbit hole?
Yuck... This is disgusting. No wonder why my stomach was screwed up 15 years ago. If anyone is reads this that has stomach issues, I went to a naturopathic doctor in Tacoma Washington. He had me on maybe 4 herbs but he also had me on a strict no gluten/sugar/breads/milk diet for 2 weeks plus this cereal that you had to make, and eat everyday. 2 weeks after doing everything he said to do, I finally could eat without my IBS issues. Mine was so severe back then but Today if I start having issues I make that cereal and in a few days I'm better. So if you want it I'll give you the recipe...
That sounds eerily like the story of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (yes the cereal guy) and his "medicinal cereal" he fed to patients at his "treatment center". I watched a History Channel story on him, and how Post was also made as a result of Kellogg not selling his cereal.

You can have it their way, I guess.

I cannot do chicken that isn't organic, free range- the mass produced Franken breasts scare me...way too big! I'm fortunate to have local farms too

Fren , look into the work of Joel Salatin . We absolutely can scale up organic chicken.

I haven't noticed

perfect for the US Senate & Supreme Court cafes, only the discerning will choose not to partake
Havent eaten it in decades.
I haven't eaten at BK since the advent of the faggot burger.
I'm sorry but what? I searched your saying "advent of the faggot burger" and a bunch of Human meat, Alien meat information popped up. Where do you suggest I start looking for this rabbit hole?
In 21 they had a whopper you could get with either two top, or two bottom buns. Then they came out with the rainbow bun. I was done.
