Plant-Based Chicken Alternatives
Why choose plant-based chicken?
Around 60 billion chickens are killed each year for food.
Male chicks are ground alive shortly after birth because they offer no value to chicken farmers.
Chickens are typically confined to massive, windowless sheds that hold tens of thousands of birds each, leaving an overpowering smell of feces and ammonia.
Factory-farmed animals are fed sub-therapeutic doses of antibiotics as “growth promoters.” Feeding animals low doses of antibiotics encourages the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria—which people come into contact with when they handle or consume infected meat.
