Chicken breasts are often one of the main components of everyday diets, they’re a good source of protein, relatively cheap, and easy to prepare. However, cheap chickens are one of the dirtiest types of poultry meat.

To increase profits, producers primarily need to lower feeding costs, which means they have to speed up the growth of chickens. Cheap chickens reach appropriate size in the fifth to seventh week.

We should be aware that industrial chickens are bred for just over a month, while homemade ones take about a year.

Manufacturers achieve this super-fast growth with antibiotics and vaccines, but the worst are aerosols, when livestock breeders vaccinate the entire farm at once. Many also use special aerosols mixed with water, and everything is subordinated to (excessively) rapid growth.

Does irresponsible handling lead to diseases? Yes, but the growth of chickens is so rapid that diseases don’t have time to develop enough to damage the whole farm. Therefore: it’s true that more and more farmers don’t use antibiotics, but there are other methods which are less controlled and often even more dangerous for humans.

Put differently: if you get pneumonia and are treated with an antibiotic that was also consumed by the chicken you’ve eaten, then that medicine won’t help you at all. We should know that sometimes it takes up to three weeks for all the toxins we ingest with food to leave our body (there are cases where this never happens, but instead the toxins just accumulate and accumulate until the organism can no longer tolerate it).

And it’s precisely with pneumonia or severe tonsillitis that we can recognize we’ve eaten meat raised with antibiotics.

However, this isn’t the worst thing... Improperly raised chicken can severely burden the liver, stomach, and the entire digestive tract. People with severe allergies can, in the mildest and unfortunately most common cases, develop more acne, and because of the daily dose of micro-antibiotics, antibodies are created that reduce the effectiveness of medicines. In any case, such food burdens the immune system, causing confusion especially in the liver, which no longer knows what it should be cleansing.

Today we know that the hormones used for chicken growth (from food, air they breathe, to water) promote male infertility, while children experience many allergic reactions and weakened immunity. There is an increasing percentage of problems with the body’s reproductive functions, which can ultimately completely cease.

Foreign nutritionists therefore suggest you eat chickens from the same breeder. The fact is, everything animals are fed with ends up in our body through the meat, and this happens day after day.
