Deep dives
The Hidden Dangers in Processed Chicken
Processed chicken products, such as nuggets and patties, are notorious for containing high levels of microplastics, posing serious health risks. Microplastics can disrupt the gut microbiome, leading to numerous health complications. Additionally, while labels like 'all natural' and 'antibiotic-free' may seem appealing, they often mask the presence of unhealthy practices within the meat industry, including the overuse of antibiotics under legal loopholes. These labels can be misleading, as many products still test positive for antibiotics, and consumers need to be aware of these inconsistencies to make healthier choices.
