People have never been more obsessed with the quality of their food. We are constantly bombarded with stories about damaging drugs, pesticides, and chemicals found in the food we consume every day, from vegetables to meat and everything in between.

Poultry meat, and especially chicken, has been heavily analyzed, and the results were defeating. It turns out, most chicken farms use a lot of antibiotics and other drugs to stimulate growth, fatten the animals up and ultimately make more profit. Eating that meat, poisoned with chemicals, can seriously damage your health, and even cause cancer.

The worst part is, you are pretty much being forced to buy meat that could be (and probably is) unhealthy and unchecked for drugs. Organic and free-range chicken is usually three to four times more expensive than the "regular" one, and not all stores keep it.
