The cause of chewy chicken meat. The most delicious-looking broiler chicken could consist of hard, chewy meat. The problem plagues the poultry industry, but researchers have found the cause and mapped a solution. Gene expression irregularities at the onset of 'wooden breast syndrome' suggest the disease is a metabolic disorder. The findings could lead to short-term solutions that help growers manage the condition in chickens during production and may inform human health research related to metabolic syndromes, such as diabetes.

This is crazy. With all the extra stuff they do to our food, who really knows everything bad that can happen to you.
Or another solution, only get meat from trusted sources or even better local farms. Where you can be fair better assured the meat isn't being pumped full stuff that shouldn't be there.
Again, I think the issue is more with the inhumane and unethical practices of corporations looking to make easy money. Not caring truly about the health and well being of consumers, or even employees, but for increasing their profit and bottom-line.
Corporate greed and yes even lack of empathy, this arguably is the greater issue which leads to so many others. Not only the inhumane treatment of animals, but the extreme poverty levels, unemployment, abuse of employees and low pay, as well a lack of concern for the health and well-being of customers and consumers.
