The thing to remind any clown that says "you don't have to choose it, it will be labelled" is that they don't know where the meat in any of their restaurant meals, takeaways and ready meals/Lunch deals comes from because the label is long in the bin before they see the food.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: RT, news-pravda:com, GB News, Fox, Breitbart, Daily Caller, OAN, sociable:co, citjourno:com, brusselssignal:eu, europesays:com, geo-trends:eu, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to any of the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Nigel Farage defends allowing US chlorinated chicken into UK as part of trade deal
(www.theguardian.com)
He kinda looks like he already ate some of it.
You are what you eat!
make him eat all of that chicken
Should be pinned in bits to the south end of tower Bridge as a fucking warning
Oh, how the true vermin emerge again...
I've noticed over the years that chicken breasts have been having an awful texture now and then. I highly suspect it's because the demand has grown so high the quality has dropped. This has reduced the amount of chicken I tend to eat. I highly suspect if we ended up getting the chlorinated chicken I'd shift more towards becoming a vegetarian.
You're sort of right. It's a condition associated with the rapid-growth breeds raised in commercial farms, and has become more prevalent over time. It's called woody breast.
Thanks is for this info, today I learnt about woody breast!
I did a course with a chicken feed manufacturing guy the other day. It's six weeks from chick to slaughter for meat chooks. He said he knew a farm that did six million chicks, six times a year. It just made me sad.
The quality of my skin deteriorates as well when I am in high demand.
The next general election must be held on or before 15 August 2029. Any poll now is just uninformed speculation. The blithering amphibian might not even be alive by then.
It might be a good time to check for local food co-ops in your area. Usually these arrange for you to order items directly from local farms and pick up from someone in your neighborhood. Some of them are produce only but some offer local dairy and meat and even baked goods too. Do some digging (ask on nextdoor?) if you canβt find one because sometimes theyβre quite small. In college I used one that accepted EBT!
I have heard they need more eggs?
OK let them send some foul, dead chicken. Surely we can send them more eggs in return.
