The cruel treatment of chickens raised for food is reason enough for people to stop eating them, but Dr. Mehmet Oz just provided his viewers with yet another reason: On a recent episode of The Dr. Oz Show, he explained exactly what's in chicken flesh—chemicals, antibiotics, arsenic, drugs, and salt—and how it can lead to antibiotic resistance and other health problems.
Gardein vegan chicken anyone?
Written by Heather Moore
Chickens are very intelligent beings, with a social hierarchy. They are beautiful creatures and I would never eat them. Furthermore, I don't understand how people chose to be ill informed about what they consume; you only get one body.
I don't EAT chicken anymore. I am 57 years young and recently became allergic to PCN. I now feel that chicken was to blame due to all of the antibiotics and chemicals used. I am trying to become totally vegan.
