should we eat poultry?

Question

with the bird ful here should we eat poultry from here?

Answer 1

Not now. I wouldn't. It's not worth the risk.

Answer 2

Yes I do eat poultry. I think I eat more chicken than any other kind of meat. Getting infected with the avian bird flu by close contact with a feather (of all things) sounds like a bunch of crap to me. I haven't heard too much about the bird flu lately. Honestly, I wouldn't be worried about getting infected. The media has a way of twisting the truth & making a big scare out of everything. You know what they say, don't believe everything you hear.

Answer 3

There was one outbreak, 1. All the turkeys in the farm have been culled and, although there is the POSSIBILITY that there are a few infected BM turkeys in the shops, even if you were to buy them, which is hugely unlikely, it can't be caught from eating infected meat, as the government officials and scientists have said.
Bird flu is very hard to catch, people who catch it do so from living in very close proximity with infected birds (mostly people in Asia who share their house with them) there has not been one recorded case of it being caught through consumption.

If you want to eliminate any risk at all, no matter how negligible in my opinion, don't buy BM turkeys, all other turkeys and chickens are definately fine to eat.

Answer 4

There is no danger from cooked poultry. Don't be scared off by the moral panic-inducing reportage by the newspapers.

Answer 5

cooking poultry kills the virus anyway....and there is no outbreak (well, there was a contained one that's now over)

so feel free to eat as much dead bird as you like. yum yum, think i'll have chicken tonight infact

Answer 6

Chickens are inquisitive, interesting animals who are as intelligent as mammals like cats, dogs, and even primates.(1) They are very social and like to spend their days together, scratching for food, cleaning themselves in dust baths, roosting in trees, and lying in the sun.

Answer 7

Vegetarians dont eat it anyway so asking here is useless.

Answer 8

There would be no chickens if we didn't eat chicken. A chicken can not survive in the wild.

Chicken is high in protein, low in fat and low in cholesterol, making it a good selection for a healthy diet. Our bodies require a certain amount of protein daily and the body does not store protein so we need to replenish it each day. A 3-ounce portion of chicken provides a large amount of our daily requirement for protein.

Answer 9

If you cook chicken ect properly and not under done you'll be fine,the thing to remember is see the meat is cooked.

Answer 10

this is the veggie and vegan section so prob the wrong section to ask your question in.
