Chlorinated chicken

 In Britain we are about to leave the European Union although 48% of people who voted in the referendum voted not to leave.

To put this in context a ‘friend’ accused me of scaremongering and put a long post on my page saying that chlorinated chicken is marvellous and anyone who was against it were lefie remainers who are apparently too woke??? (what the hell does that mean).

Now I feel guilty because I am speaking against the USA system. But this is what I found on a post on the BBC website on 8 March 2019, and I am using their facts, not my own.

If you read the fact check on the website. ‘is chlorinated chicken bad for you?’ they state that using chlorine is not harmful and cleans up the chickens surface, but this can mask problems inside the chicken where high levels of bacteria can be found like campilobacter or salmonella. It also states that poor hygiene and badly run, crowded abattoirs are hidden by this process. When the two methods of producing chicken were checked, much higher levels of harmful bacteria were found in the chlorinated chicken. So no I will not be choosing it to eat it.

  1. I wouldn’t eat it either. As for being a “leftie” and “too woke” I just registered as a Democrat in the US. I never imagined such a thing, but the Right has gone fascist — too right — and yes, I am far too “woke” for that. As for the UK leaving the EU, I think that’s a very bad idea and I think it should require a 66% majority vote since it’s going to have so many complicated repercussions but I’m just a (apparently “woke”) yank who doesn’t live there. 🙂
