Viewpoint: I think the U.S. has a very big problem in the chicken industry. They need to stop the "plumping" in chicken (enactment of chicken). I think that the chicken industry doing this is extremely wrong and the government just standing back and watching isn't making it any better. I think the food industry should be put in check by the government all this cases of E.Coli and etc. popping up and rising in numbers Something has to be done about this.
Evidence:"In the past few years, it has become common for chicken producers to
inject fresh chicken with saltwater as a way to keep it juicy and
flavorful in the hands of indifferent cooks, a process called
"enhancing" or "plumping." In some cases, the plumping solution contains
a long list of ingredients, and it can make up a fifth or even more of
the chicken's weight. The results can be culinarily strange: chicken
with a smooth, synthetic texture like Spam, and a salty or sometimes
acrid flavor. Not to mention a higher sodium content, which many people
are supposed to avoid for health reasons." -http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jan/04/opinion/la-ed-chicken4-2010jan04
Erik,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "enactment" of chicken.
Also, what do you mean about the government just "standing by"? You do not mention the evidence to support the government's involvement or non-involvement.
Please identify the government involvement in this issue.
