    I can remember watching a doc on the sat channels about factory produced chickens sold at the large super market chains. Nothing new here and probably what many of you know already. Same would go for the likes of KFC You basically pay for what you get. :)

    Those juicy, delicious chicken breasts in the meat case at your local supermarket are more than likely hiding a dirty little secret that might make you think twice about ever eating them again.

    Most people are unaware of it, but conventional chicken meat typically contains a whole lot more than just chicken, as it is often "plumped" up with brine (salt water), chicken stock, flavor and texture-enhancing chemicals, and even the waste byproducts of other animals that can constitute as much as 30 percent of the meat's total weight.

    Supermarkets have ruined the food market in Ireland.. They promoted themselves as "the" place to buy cheap quality food.
    The reality is that you are getting cheap and nasty food..

    Growers are being squeezed, consumers get a sub-quality product and the supermarket chains cash in on the whole thing..

    It won't be long until traditional irish producers meats/foods are squeezed out of production and more and more of our food is imported from less traceable sources..


    Search round your area and you will find small producers selling through good butchers or farmers markets.. You'll pay a bit more but you'll get a product that can be enjoyed rather than feared.. I'm not talking organic stuff either, good old free range is all you need..

    You can still buy free range chicken and eggs down the country; you would often see signs on the side of the road from small farms: I woult trust any of the supermarket free range stuff: there was a guy not so long ago caught out for fraud passing off free range when it was battery

    I read somewhere that one good way to keep away from the fattened chicks is to go for the smallest ones , that way even if they do contain some level of additives the likelihood is that they will be in smaller amounts .
