Is Free-Range Chicken Better For You? | Talking Point | Full Episode

In 2019, we consumed nearly 34kg of chicken per person in Singapore, making it the most consumed protein here. But gone are the days where chicken is just...chicken. They now come with a myriad of labels like corn-fed, free-range, organic, probiotics fed - and a heftier price to boot. Each promising to be healthier, tastier and more environmentally friendly than your average chicken. Just how effective are they? And are they worth the extra cash?

Taste test... each participant should be given the chickens in a different order. This is to eliminate herd mentality.

[@VinayTruth]

Should not be tested in a group

[@naililmuna8946]

The meat taste will be different due to their age. Their life span is 6-9 years. When you process them at 40 days, you know what you'll have. I tried raising some roosters from chicks until they are 6 months old. They eat a lot of grass from the lawn. I trimmed their wings for safety. Their meat was wonderful. But it was a lot of work. We won't do it again.

[@ernestkj]

not only the age but also the breed of the chicken!

ahh organic, how many still dont think its just a marketing ploy?

[@yaphongjie8551]

well it is use to attract customer because of its health

[@luciana-hs8cg]

There surely some that real organic, especially for those that have auto immune diseases. But organic actually include the living area, the water they consume and so on. More labeled as organic just consider about their feed and all way to gain profit in the very low standard.

[@jackaxe2235]

$50-$70 dollars per chicken???? Why stop there, just another $50-$70 dollars you have enough for a wagu steak dinner.

[@durian5233]

chicken meat prices are differentiated by marketing people. Same goes to beef as well.

[@christiancruz3129]

Billionaires eat them for variation

[@pinoyfromengland]

Singaporean dollars !

[@johngablesmith4671]

It's that specific breed though.

[@harryloo8544]

I think there is an important point missed here. Taste of a chicken are more of a function of how much time it is given to fully develop. Broiler chicken(30days) generally taste nothing, kampung chicken(60days) has better chew and noticeably tastier than broiler. The best tasting chicken had to be the castrated chicken (120days), has the best chew and a rich taste, it uses the same method of rearing as the famous French's Brest chicken.

What??? 18:52 Nasi lemak chicken strands? Bro if you over-fried a chicken will become dry and resulting in strands. What you are trying now is *BOILED* method

[@hartonocitrasetiawan9726]

very straight answer, the chicken feed and the way they are reared doesnt make difference in taste and texture of the meat, the taste and texture likely more affected by the strain and age of chicken when they are killed. the older it is the tougher the meat that's why the organic is said have the toughest meat because probably that the oldest chicken on the table. they need longer time to reach ideal harvest weight

[@hawaandroid2786]

Not really, free range chicken that run here and there are more lean than the one that kept in small cages.

[@luciana-hs8cg]

Wow, smart conclusion. That's true. That's why some menu only prefer for certain age of chicken.

[@DenneGene]

Our native chickens just roam around, we don't need fences, they know where there home is, they're skinnier but tastier

[@romsampaga8354]

The organic chicken presented here is not that tasty because it still lived inside a factory, and the breed used is tailor made for commercial purposes. A truly organic chicken for me is pasture raised, wherein they ate bugs, worms, leaves, grass and they have ample sunlight and exercise. It's taste is remarkable especially if the chicken is not too young, not too old. They just roam around freely and not given any antibiotics or vaccines. We call that native chicken in the Philippines. The drawback is that they don't have a lot of meat, but the taste is very rich that me and my siblings could eat more than 3 chicken wings/legs and would fight over the best part when we were kids living in the province. When we came to live in the city, we only have broiler chicken which has NO taste for me.

[@jasonhuber8669]

I think the result was slightly skewed based on whichever is eaten first. Everything after is basically compared to it. I have a feeling you'd get similar results if the others were started first as well.

[@wsiak340]

I have yet to see these kind of programmes use proper research techniques. I get that they want to have quick results but the way they do it is so incredibly flawed that the results have absolute zero meaning.

[@harikrish6317]

Yes also based on the fresheness of the chicken. Maybe the organic chickens were older as they are imported from overseas

[@durian5233]

The Mozart is also for the workers. Hope they are not underpaid and overwork.

[@ginsederp]

It's a community garden, everyone there's a volunteer. They get paid in chicken😆

[@deeb3272]

Here in the Philippines you can easily distinguish free-range vs industrial scale poultry by just looking at the meat. Id eat native chicken all day! Bisayawa.

[@romella_karmey]

But it has less meat.

[@deeb3272]

Cooked Boiler chicken just tastes like another version of boiled potato

Type of breed plays a part as well.

[@TitoTimTravels]

Neither my wife or I like the native chicken. It is smaller, tough, and stringy. I will take a 45 day bird any day! We like to raise 15 or 20 of the 45 day birds for our barangay fiesta. 😎

Ceteris paribus, the meat of a free range chook is firmer. Taste wise is dependent on what the chooks were fed with. Likewise why are beansprouts from Ipoh better in taste and texture ?

[@weifengmao]

It's all about upselling a "premium" product.

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

How do they get make orange chicken I thought that's what I searched for

[@mariocandranata402]

But you are forgot to highlight the growth hormone factor, many people believe that eating chicken with growth hormone will affect your health badly because the growth hormone left in the chicken meat.

[@aadi2456]

Ask human pathologists & forensics experts .. they will tell you antibiotics & hormones taken all can be detected in the body after death. Chicken flesh is no different, how much ever they try to market it otherwise to boost sales

[@crazy0woobys]

I was thinking the same issue too. It is consumer choice actually.. But I love our locals kampung breed chicken, much smaller, meat is taste because they gets to exercise and lower in fats too. Choose wisely.

[@tedteddy1802]

I just caught something on this video she says they’re fed with antibiotics so they can stay healthy are you kidding me what’s wrong with you?

WHERE DOES IT TALK ABOUT "FREE-RANGE" LIKE TITLE THO?

Here in my village we already doing this for decades already.

[@spaceedementia]

I'm just putting mine in the air fryer with a lot of seasonings to go in my salad or chicken wrap. None of this (except for it would be nice if they could actually be free range because my family doesnt eat that much) really seems necessary

5 or 6 dollars for a frozen chicken is kinda a lot. Here it costs 3 dollars for a 1 kg frozen chicken. Premium fresh chicken costs $5

21:29 conclusion

[@rayjack]

The organic chicken was partially raw. You could still see the raw. pink meat. Maybe that's why they didn't like it. Wonder if any of them had diarrhea that night??!!

[@joelgaas858]

I object hahaha Taste is different... Native organic chicken is tastier than in a conventional chicken in the grocery. I grew in the province where we ate native organic chicken. But when i move to the city...the chicken in the market is not of the same taste than in my hometown

[@addylicious]

Different breed of chicken; amongst other factors :)

[@meej6452]

If I could afford more beef, I would eat less chicken.

[@exfolios]

Chickens are native to Southeast Asia. Taste is a very subjective thing. I would say those native chickens have more flavor, which most of us would say "gamier." Growing up poor, I was taught to eat anything on the table, organic, free range, or not. Thank God I didn't grow up a food snob.

[@mohamedimranfarid4801]

Best to eat chicken in moderation. Once in 2 weeks or maximum once a week.

[@wsiak340]

Where did you get that false information from? Chicken is one of the cleanest form of protein available. Any nutritionist will tell you that it is completely safe (actually beneficial to your health) to have clean cooked chicken breast almost daily. Of course it depends on how you cook the chicken - e.g., deep fried - but that has to do with the method of cooking. You'd be very ill-advised to have deep-fried anything on a regular basis.

[@michaellee888]

The chicken could be organic being fed organically but that may not be the best feed for the chicken. Chicken are omnivores. There's a huge difference to chickens raised on sunflower seeds but the chickens are grazing on the seeds from sunflower beds and eating bugs. Chicken able to graze and enjoy the sunlight are less fatty, but fat makes the chicken juicy so a feed rich in good fats will make the chicken tastier. Brown rice is fatty because it's carbs. The corn and soy feed is ok but still the chicken needs to eat bugs. The best way is seeds and bugs with grazing and enjoying the sun. One of the best bugs for chickens is mealworms. Even in China, chickens are eating bugs and free range. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4jNin-PqtF0gtU

Whenever humans have interfered at some point things have gone wrong. So let the Chicken have a life in the way nature designed it to before it becomes somebody's meal . Its that simple !

45 day birds grow so much, so quickly, they sometimes get too heavy for their legs. We have had some that just lay down next to the food trough, others have gotten so big, their leg breaks. They will eat 24/7 if you let them.

While those from Malaysia, they got to listen to Namewee from day one to their last day on earth, they have more fatty meat, couple with bigger thigh and head. 😜

So you took the expert’s opinion completely without taking the effort to scientifically analyze the nutritional compositions. That’s lazy!

[@yadienan]

free range, organic is only a term by businessmans to riase ridiculous prices on their product.

[@sheilae.535]

i don’t think so, before a product sealed with organic logo it goes thru a long and expensive process. declaring it as organic means have to be pesticide-free, from the soil until to the tip of the leaf for veggies and fruits.

[@addylicious]

@@sheilae.535 Unfortunately, in commercial/large-scale farming, the majority of farmers use pesticides. This is rampant for many products labelled ‘organic’; not just poultry, but even fruits and vegetables. They always find a loophole to maintain/gain profit. You’d be surprised if you dig deeper down this rabbit hole of ‘organic produce’. Your best bet would be to purchase stuff from small-scaled farmers (if they use methods which meet your personal standards, of course). IMPO, some people still prefer to buy organic and/or free-range chickens because of slightly better ethical methods used for farming. It’s sad that ‘organic’ does not necessarily mean they’re also bred free-range. Just ‘free-range’ does not mean that they’re also organic. And lastly, ‘free-range & organic’ does not mean that they actually meet each of our personal standards/understanding of said terms.

Why does the Malaysian brand have such a bad reputation?

[@addylicious]

It could be that her grocery mostly sells the higher-end stuff, so maybe she was initially hesitant to reveal the source-country on camera- reason being Malaysia is just next door to Singapore; and that might not necessarily justify the high price tag that her company has set for that specific product, seeing that (if solely based on logistics); it could’ve been offered for cheaper. Well, that’s just me giving her the benefit of the doubt. But if it was for some other unwarranted reason(s)...yeah, bigot. Lmao!
