Too fat to stand and their flesh rots while they're alive: The REAL reason America's 'Frankenchickens' have to be washed with chlorine as US industrial farming practices are exposed ahead of possible post-Brexit trade deal The possibility of US chickens being sold in Britain sparked a huge Cabinet row Now whistleblower farmers have revealed the full horror of chickens' lives in US Birds are crammed into warehouses and are so heavy they buckle under weight The disturbing prospect of chlorine-washed chickens from the US going on sale in British shops in a post-Brexit trade deal last week sparked an explosive row at the heart of Government. But beyond the politics lies the story of why American poultry needs such drastic chemical treatment – and of the horrendous conditions at the farms where they are bred and reared.

That was pretty horrifying. I won't eat Costco rotisserie chickens anymore. In their zeal to sell a juicy, plump big bird, those things are pumped with liquids and look unnaturally large. And are really tasteless now. You can tell the difference from a decade ago. I've also read that chickens are now frozen, sent to China for processing (because of the cheap labor) and re-frozen and shipped back to US for sale. Can you imagine the "fowl" hygiene conditions in all this processing and the lack of standards in some Chinese labor camp? |

Where meat is concerned you can never be sure of the quality unless you raised the animal yourself. This is an area where the UK and mainland Europe do a far better job than the US. |

The pictures of the canned chicken were gross.
