Are 'happy' chickens healthier and tastier to eat?

>> No.12300435

They can be tastier. I assume it's for the same reason than a homegrown tomato is tastier than a cheap one from the store; they're given more time to ripen naturally instead of being forced to grow big and tasteless in as little time as possible.

We have a moral obligation to take care of the animals we raise and farm for food. They should be given a superior quality of life than what they could afford themselves in the wild. They should lead a relatively happy and healthy life, yes. If they don't the end product suffers and we ultimately suffer.

Any animal that's happy up until slaughter is healthier and tastier to eat, because they won't have as much adrenaline and other hormones that are released when they're scared, which makes the muscles tense up and keeps those secretions locked in, and you don't want to eat that.

I raise chickens because I have the land for it and it's really fucking easy, you just fill their food and water, lock them up at night and let them out in the morning, clean the coop.

Obviously a chicken butchered less than 24 hours ago is going to be superior to something thats been frozen or refrigerated for who knows how long.

But i've never really eaten one of my chickens and been blown away or noticed anything radically different from those 4-5 dollar whole chickens you can get at walmart that isn't attributed to things beyond the meat like how old it is etc...

As far as diet is concerned, there isn't much difference between what i get at the coop or what they feed them in lots besides possibly filling the feed with hormones and medicine and shit. So im sure farm raised chickens are healthier to eat, but when theres no real difference in taste but cost 2-4x more no consumer is going to bother.

Meat is not unhealthy, that's been scientifically debunked over and over because of you dumbass vegans.
It's only unsustainable as long as factory farms continue and as long as people think they have to eat meat at every single meal.
Eating meat is not "cruel". There are horrible, vile humans out there that are cruel to animals (and that includes PETA, the devils), but conscientious slaughter of livestock isn't cruel, it's fast, on purpose, so the animals don't have to feel extended pain.

Overcrowding of any animal is going to stress it out. It may sound like bro-science, but this usually results in more adipose tissue compared to intramuscular fat. The former is what causes rancidity and needs to be trimmed, the latter is what gives most meat flavor. If a chicken is stressed out and also in close proximity to others, it will also have a weaker immune system and produce an inferior meat as a result of being sick and stressed all the time. Chickens don't require much to be "happy", but not all chickens are going to be ideal for slaughter even if they're happy anyway based on genetics or gender.

tl;dr Factory farming doesn't produce the best quality meat. There are many reasons for this, including knowing priority of quantity>quality. The evidence is in the product, so why even ask?

It would undoubtedly be better if individuals raised and slaughtered the animals themselves, but this of course is not possible for the majority of individuals, especially as the earth's population grows. This still ignores the ethical argument.
>overcooking, overprosessed foods
This is the majority of the standard american diet. Cooking surfaces can contribute to the aforementioned problems, but the majority of problems come directly from the consumption of animal products. This is easy to research for yourself.
>>12305968
Back in the day we ate much more starch, and many more vegetables. Meat was a rare treat. Exercise is important; but we cannot ignore how awful our diet has become due to overabundance and efficient agricultural practices. This ignores the ethical argument. (Unnecessary suffering for the purpose of taste buds.) This also ignores the sustainability argument.
>>12307166
We can ignore human emotions like grief, and say without a shred of doubt that animals feel pain, if only as a reaction to the damage of cells. Animals are very intelligent creatures. Consuming animals unnecessarily is cruel. This does not have to mean animals are on the same level as humans in terms of value; it only means killing something for pleasure is wrong.

>"So Jesus said to them, "Children, you do not have any fish, do you?" They answered Him, "No." And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch." So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish. ... So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught." Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gaveit to them, and the fish likewise." (John 21:5-6,9-14)

we originally had 3 chickens for eggs. 2 died after their 3 year expected lifespan but Beryl lasted about 6 years, laying non-stop. She was spoiled rotten - top quality chicken feed supplemented by all kinds of household scraps. She particularly loved leftover egg-fried rice and broken up pringles.

Beryl was also house trained and was allowed to walk through the house as well as roam the few fields around our house.

Best fucking eggs we have ever had, and she is the only animal we have owned that has a headstone. RIP Bezza.

See most studies that relate meat to cancer indicate the way the meat is cooked, processed, or packaged. Not the meat itself. Plastic residues, fillers, carcenogens from overcooking...

Most studies that indicate health issues such as heart desease are in high meat diets. If your washing your bacon egg sausage sandwich down with a fillet minion and a aujus smoothie then expect some heart desease

Actual farmer here.

I raise chickens. I have several breeds of chicken. Some are tastier than others and some are tougher than others. The main breed you eat from stores and restaurants is "Cornish X Rock" aka "Jumbo Cornish X Rock, or Cornish Cross" which is a crossbreed between Cornish and Rock breeds. The resulting broiler chicken is monstrous, can grow ultra fast, and actually is pretty damn tasty and tender. It is tender because it grows fast (8-9 weeks to butchering age), unlike tougher breeds that take 2-4 times longer to reach butchering age. The Cornish Cross grows so fast and gets so massive that they often can't grow their bones fast enough and end up breaking their legs under their own weight. They typically sit around with their heads in the food trough, unless you restrict the food. They also grow so fast that they often times have heart attacks. Seeing a chicken die from a heart attack is pretty surreal. The heart attacks usually only happen if they are stressed and are a week or more past their butcher date. While you can raise these chickens in a normal fashion where they are pastured and have restricted food, most people do not.

Flavor is different between the breeds, but only slightly. Life style affects flavor. Longevity affects toughness. Breed affects toughness. Food type has the most affects on flavor among all breeds. Fear also affects flavor. Fight or flight situations release stress hormones (adrenaline & noradrenaline) into the blood stream. These, plus other chemical changes during such a stressful situation upon death, can affect flavor, but it is more subtle. With all of these flavor changes, all of them are subtle and can be masked with typical recipe seasonings and usually not noticed up front by the average person. The most noticeable flavor change happens after death when the meat is allowed to age. That is a step usually not done today.

As far as being "tastier" that is a matter of opinion.

"happy" chickens have darker leg and thigh meat. If you want more tasty birds, treat them like you're a psychopath and bunch them together. More leg work==darker dark meat.

...On the matter of fruit & vegetables and their flavors. The flavor of fruit and vegetables differes the most across cultivars, off the plant age, and ripeness. Using tomatoes, as the metric here since you brought them up, the largest flavor change is between their cultivars. A slicing tomato cultivar like a Cherokee Purple will taste radically different when compared to a slicing tomato like a Porkchop. Among the same cultivar you can have radically different flavors and water levels. This occurs from how they are grown. The biggest flavor change due to cultivation method & not from ripeness will occur the last week before picking the tomato. Tomato plants that have their water restricted during that time will have their fruit undergo a chemcial change. This change enriches the flavor of the tomato. Most commercial growers do not use this method.

The juiciness of the tomato doesn't change much from the above mentioned water restriction. Juiciness differs between cultivars and from ripeness. Normally, the cultivars available to you in stores and restaurants are notthe same one available to the general home gardener. You'd need to save seeds from the store cultivars and even then they may be hybrids that won't remain true when you grow them.

Thus, a store/restaurant bought tomato may be flavorless due to its cultivar type, lack of water restiction, and because it wasn't picked while fully ripe. Wateriness of that tomato can be caused by how it is stored in that time. A homegrown tomato will be a fresh as you can pick it off the vine. This is also a huge factor. Take bananas for instance. A fresh banana and old banana will have different flavors. More starches will have turned into sugars and it will be sweeter, stronger in banana-flavor, and softer. All vegetables & fruit undergo similar changes after being picked.

>More leg work==darker dark meat.

Yes, active life style vs sedate life style also plays a role in flavor and toughness of the meat. It is a matter of personal preferences as to which is better. It also plays a role in what recipes you use them.

Don't. Animals are not humans, those animals are not your pets, and you were not mistreating them. Empathy for animals should only go so far as to prevent mistreatment; both physically and psychologically.

More like 1700 or so years ago. Well, whenever Constantine combined everything together in order to unite the kingdom. The council actually took many gods, goddesses, both good and evil and formed them into just a few characters in the bible. Like God, Jesus, Lucifer, and the Holy Ghost were something like 2 dozen gods/goddesses, demons, and folk heroes. You can see many of the previous versions and stuff in the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are like Holy Bible: Rough Drafts and Footnotes while the King Jame's Version is like Holy Bible: Electric Boogaloo 32

"Results: An increased risk of all cause mortality (hazard ratio for highest versus lowest fifth 1.26, 95% confidence interval 1.23 to 1.29) and death due to nine different causes associated with red meat intake was observed. Both processed and unprocessed red meat intakes were associated with all cause and cause specific mortality."

Wasn't talking about cancer, was talking about the aforementioned diseases (atherosclerosis, diabetes, and heart disease.) The above study shows a direct link between both unprocessed and processed red meat and disease.

Chicken is one of the better option if you must eat meat. It still raises your cholesterol (yes this is negative) and is still cruel, but it is more sustainable than beef. That said, chicken is still extremely damaging to the environment.
