Free ranged or commercial?

Many people prefer to buy the cheaper meat because they are just the same, both are just chicken. In commercialized chicken industry the chickens are grown for meat and so are free range. The difference I think is that the commercialized chicken gets more drugs like hormones, antibiotics, vaccines and supplements, free range on the other hand is free of the things I just mentioned and have leaner meat. Do you eat free range or commercial? Do they taste the same? I guess chicken tastes like chicken. Some people said to me that the commercial chicken in our markets may pass some of the drugs they have taken to their consumers is that really an issue. Do you even care what you eat?

I have a cousing who doesn't chicken meat because of the reasons you just stated. I don't know but for me chicken is still chicken. Does it really matter?

We SHOULD care about what we eat. Unfortunately, in the society we live in, money trumps health. We are what we eat and that is more literal than we are even comfortable of thinking. Fortunately, if we were to get down to the details of healthy foods, commercially bred chickens aren't probably that lethal. You have to watch out more for the canned, boxed and packaged stuff. And sodas! Commercial chicken is alright I think, free range is just a luxury if we are able to spend more for our meals. They'll both be bad for you once breaded and submerged in gallons of oil anyway as I like it usually.
