Why Eat Organic Chicken?
It is not a secret to anyone that chicken is healthier than a fried burger. If you are really health-conscious, buying organic chicken is your best choice and here is why.
Buying conventionally raised chicken is not always the best idea, because farmers often use arsenic in the chicken feed. Arsenic is a poison, which exposure has been linked to certain types of cancer, heart disease, liver disease and many other health problems.
Some studies show that children of women who were exposed to arsenic while pregnant, may be at an increased risk of cancer later in life.
According to the research done by the government, arsenic levels in some young chickens are up to four times greater than in other meats.
Arsenic is a very dangerous poison, which can also be deadly. Even though the chicken industry claims that the amounts of arsenic used in the organic chickens feed is safe, many experts are convinced that no amount of arsenic is safe.
Fortunately, there is an alternative for people who love chicken. If you dont want to risk your health and make sure you are not getting exposed to any levels of arsenic, buy organic chickens. They are fed with natural feed which is not chemically altered. Organic chickens are raised on 100% vegetarian and healthy diets; no medications, vaccines or growth hormones are given to them. They are also kept on chemical-free soils.
Chicken that can run freely and are living healthier lives, have used muscles, instead of wasted muscles. Organic chicken and their eggs have a richer taste; they have high beneficial fats and higher amounts of Omega-3 Fatty Acids.
If you cant afford to buy organic chicken on a regular basis, check local farmers markets. They often offer organic or free-range chicken for cheaper than supermarkets or specialized organic food stores.
Some people dont care about eating healthy, but many swear that organic chicken tastes richer and more flavorful. So even if you are not concerned about arsenic, give organic chicken a try anyway. You should taste the difference.
