Re: As if we don't already have enough food worries...
Little streaks of fat due to intensive rearing apparently.
Found this as well:
But according to Jaclyn London, R.D., Nutrition Director at the Good Housekeeping Institute, we shouldn’t be swearing off the stuff: “Chicken - so long as it's not breaded and deep-fried - is a great source of lean protein (that also happens to be rich in B-vitamins, iron and vitamin B12),” she said.
And a spokesman for the National Chicken Council told Buzzfeed white striping actually only affects a “small percentage of chicken meat” and “does not create any health or food safety concerns for people and the welfare of the chicken itself is not negatively impacted.”
So you don’t need to stop cooking your favourite chicken stir-fries, curries and roasts just yet, but let’s hope more supermarkets and restaurants avoid factory-farmed birds.
