Episode notes
Microplastics in Processed Chicken
- Processed chicken products like nuggets contain the highest levels of microplastics.
- Plant-based meat replacements also carry microplastics due to processing, affecting gut health.
Misleading Free Range Chicken Labels
- "Free range" chicken can legally mean 100,000 birds crammed indoors with minimal outdoor access.
- Chickens rarely go outside, making "free range" labels misleading.
Avoid Plastic-Wrapped Chicken
- Avoid buying chicken wrapped in plastic due to endocrine disruptors like phthalates.
- Instead, get chicken from butchers wrapped in butcher paper or rewrap at home in safe materials.
