So chickens are one of the most important sources of protein in our global food systems. A few interesting facts.

Forget the planet of the apes. This is the planet of the chickens.

North Americans apparently like chickens with big breasts and not legs. Don’t mean to seem rude about this but it’s just a fact.

Call me a leg man. Okay sorry that is a tacky joke. Sorry I actually find beauty in many different shapes. But I am told Latin American consumers find chicken thighs more tasty. I personally think they have more flavour - chicken breast meat seems pretty bland to me.

I dunnoe about you but nothing to me sounds more attractive than a big juicy chicken breast with a good side of anti-biotics - delish!!! Yum yum yum!

These genetically modified chickens are not terribly healthy - their legs are too small to support their weight and that creates a lot of production issues. A lot of these chickens die during their short lives.

You have to be very careful with hygiene and temperature is very important.
