Chicken Meat – A Healthy Alternative for Beef and Pork?

Are you one of those who made chicken meat a healthy alternative for beef and pork consumption? Many people resort to consumption of chicken meat because of fear of cholesterol and high fat content of beef and pork thinking they made a healthier choice if they consume chicken.

I knew someone who is into poultry business. They themselves seldom eat chicken because of the multi-growth enhancing techniques made to the chickens to make sure that their chicken are big and meaty and ready for sale just in short period of time compared to if they will just let their chicken grow in a natural way.

If you will check the diet of chicken grown in poultry, they are fed with unnatural diet (feeds). And the worst thing is they are grown in a limited space for them not to move well. Now, with all these facts, tell me how can you expect that chicken meat is healthy and low in fat and cholesterol? I was not surprised to hear that skinless chicken has 18 percent of its calories from fats, how much more if skin is included? Did you know that chicken skin is rich in bad cholesterol?

I seldom eat chicken, and if I do I prefer to eat “native chicken”, those that eat natural food (grains and coconut meat) and exercise a lot everyday, those chicken that you need to hide, seek and run after your choice to be meat before you can sip a hot chicken soup. Wow, it is really satisfying to eat such kind of chicken.

If you are aiming to consume no bad cholesterol and low fat foods, eat lots of fruits and vegetables instead of meat. Fish is more healthy alternative to beef and pork consumption than chicken meat. But, beans and grains combination is the most healthy alternative for meat if we talk about protein. Aside from protein and other essential nutrients, you can get fibers from fruits and vegetables which cannot be found in meat.
