I doubt that it's the breasts that are tougher than the past cuz today's factory raised birds don't get out and about much.
It is not that they don't get out.:R
It's all the chemicals they are treated with during the slaughter processing and the slaughter processing itself. And how old the chicken meat is by the time it hits the store shelves. And now add to that chickens have been approved to going to China for processing.
The old adage of a 'slow boat to China' has now become a reality.
Ya like a chicken raised in a factory farm in the US and then put on a boat to China for processing and then put back on a boat back to the US is going to be fresh. :S
Buy local and organic and taste the difference. :C
To the best of my knowledge there is no raw chicken meat being shipped from China to the USA for consumption but there is a proviso that heat processed (cooked meat) chicken can be imported to the USA from China. The economics of buying fresh meat in one country and shipping to another still isn't there. Never been a fan of canned meat of any sort so me and mine are safe there;).
That being said I think antibiotic free with unadulterated natural feed is a thing of beauty for the overall body and tastebuds.
Oh and I don't particularly trust Frank Perdue, Tyson, et al either;).
Still remember Perdue senior touting his yellow skinned birds as being more healthful than white and knowing it was all about the corn feed that had questionable additives:cool:.
