I always wonder if chicken meat is good for health. I know it's white meat and generally speaking, white meat is better than red meat because the former has lower level of cholesterol and fat.
Problem is, I heard that a lot of the chicken in the market which are commercially bred contain chemicals because of all these injections those poor chicken have to get in order to grow "fatter". Works for those chicken farming companies because heavier chicken means more profits for them... at the expense of consumer like us of course :(
After watching this video, I have to say I disagree with him. Why?
If you've heard of free range organic chicken, you will know that chicken meat is probably one of the healthiest meat you can use for daily cooking. Sure, they are expensive but you have to consider which one is more important to you... your health or spending that extra few dollars...
As for losing weight, I think chicken is the best and healthiest alternative to red meat such as beef and pork. I also find that no matter how much healthy food you stuff into your stomach, you still need to work out and exercise regularly if you want to be fit and in shape.
All these chicken meat talk is making me hungry. You know what? I just read about this wonderful post about how easy it is to make orange chicken at home. I think I'm going to give it a try. Oh, by the way, I'm using organic free range chicken meat which taste so much better than commercial chicken meat.
Bon appetit to me :)
