Is this really true about Chickens in the U.S?

[missmuffet]

 I have not heard of chlorine bleached chickens but it would not surprise me. They shoot them full of hormones and antibiotics. That can not be good for the body.

As a teenager I used to work as an electrician in the sixties, and often it was at the stockyards, in San Antonio Texas.
If you want to see/taste/smell putrid, take a tour of the rendering plant.
I had to often climb up a very long conveyor system to reach the drive motors to service or replace.
These conveyors were not cleaned for maintenance, so all the blood and guts became very slippery,
and without doubt, there were a bazillion fly's, making it difficult to even see.
And this was considered a clean room compared to the leather tanning plant.
I'm sure the sanitation process has been improved since.
But I decided to become a carpenter...........

PS;
Though not really ranchers, we always ran cattle on our place, but for table beef,
I would pick up new  born dairy bulls for really cheap (can't milk bulls :)
They, being new born, required instant feeding, and the girls were old enough
to bottle feed them, and then calf manna. (Jersey bulls just don't fatten, no matter all the corn)
Knowing the sentimental attachments would form, we gave them names,like
Sir Loin, and Mister Tee Bone etc. A butcher friend with my help did the slaughtering and packing
at his butcher shop, so the girls were spared that. (I would/could never be a butcher!!!)

 

I have had many crappy jobs over the years .Having read your account of your job as an electrician at the rendering plant,I will never gripe again—- in fact, I may never eat meat again!

No doubt that you were "voluntarily" given that duty when you were a teenager as there probably weren't others with more experience that wanted to do that job.

We named our Angus steer we recently had butchered Burger Boy.

Hi all.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but curiosity has finally got the better of me. Lol.

In the U.S, do you really have chlorine washed chicken? 

And if you do, has it harmed you, or are you able to purchase non chlorine washed chicken?

I ask because it's currently a big scare tactic in the UK re; doing a trade deal with the U.S.

Curiosity has led me to ask you if this is all correct. I don't know much about it.

This is a very strange world. 

Let's praise the Lord that as believers we are all one in Jesus, no matter which country on the earth we happen to reside in. Our true citizenship is in Heaven. Praise God.

Simple answer; ignore the leftist media. In Britain that mean most all media. Ye cannae trust it.

Most media is hype with an agenda.

If you want an uncomplicated life, shoot that TV.

Regarding chlorine in general, it is one of those significant things that separates the civilized world from the uncivilized, and "disease ridden" past. i.e. Chlorine is a VERY good thing. It is a game changer. Of course, you don't want to marinate your steaks in it though.

Oh yes, totally agree about media hype.

I'm certainly not bothered, but was curious just to see how true it was.

If you believed what the media have been saying, then there would be no living folk in the U.S due to chlorine washed chicken. Lol.

Pssst. They all died. All of the posts you see from accounts in the US are really just Russian bots.
