Unfortunately, the last pandemic didn’t kill off enough of them to solve the problem. So we’ll have to hope this one will do the job.
I certainly hope nobody starts a MAGA pro-raw (non-chlorinated) chicken movement.
Ah yes, chlorinated chicken.
Sound mighty good for you and the chicken, does it not? Chlorinated.
Banned everywhere except in the US due to low animal welfare standards (it hides diseases and other fuckery) and hygiene. (it hides bad hygiene during slaughter)
So yes, I do hope someone starts this movement and gets the US to acknowledge the troubles with it.
it hides bad hygiene during slaughter
That’s the beautiful part about washing with chlorine. It only kills pathogens on the outside, which is logical. Anything inside the meat probably survives that. However, the testing for these pathogens only happens on the outside, because usually that’d be sufficient - but it no longer is when you chloride.
Something else the US does differently is that eggs are washed and as such must be cooled because might remove the protective layer. Here in Germany, all eggs are sold non-refrigerated, and battery eggs are illegal, though unfortunately, caging is still legal to until 2029, and personally, I think buying eggs with any rating below “Bio” should be avoided whenever possible, better something with an additional animal welfare label like “Bioland” it “Naturland”.
Industrial animal farming is disgusting as it is, but leave it to the US to capitalism it up a notch.
