It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken
ISBN-
Why does everything now taste like chicken, but chicken? It's not what it used to be.
Welcome to the world of Big Food.
Profits and production override quality. Big Food produces bigly, at a big cost. But we can't yet live without it.
Sustainable, small-scale farming is not yet developed to provide mass quantities of cheap protein to billions
of people.
But you can learn to protect yourself from purchasing and eating poor quality poultry. Learn to spot the bad stuff, and try safe and tasty local birds, or even different species. Guinea hen is better than chicken anyway.
