Chickens are the cheapest and the most reliable source of animal protein in the world. They are reared across the world for eggs and meat. But have you ever wondered the quality of eggs and meat you buy? You’d be surprised on how chickens are brought up to meet the demand of consumption.

In this video, we take a deep look into our most common source of protein - chickens. We explore the less-talked about topic of chicken welfare and why ethical treatment of animals is so important.

You’ll learn about the difference between caged poultry chickens and pastured cage-free chickens.

Don’t miss out on the discussion about the ethical treatment of animals even if they are raised for human consumption.
