YSK chicken sold in supermarkets are often "plumped" with a salt water solution that increases sell weight, making up as much as 30% of the total weight. A serving of plumped chicken can contain between 200 and 500mg of sodium while non-plumped chicken generally contains 45 to 70mg.

Why YSK: consuming too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. In my country (USA), the average daily sodium intake is over 3,300mg, exceeding the recommended maximum of 2,300mg. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends an even lower maximum of 2,000mg.

Also: with the rising cost of food, being mindful of additives that increase sell weight is important.

The animal rights movement should include cell phones, starving children in Canada, and Haitian gang violence

Animal rights is intersectional, and includes these other movements. We are one and the same, and I'm tired of people not including them when we talk about animal rights.

We should change the icon of this sub to a picture of a starving child in Canada getting fed a cell phone by a Haitian gang. I will attack anyone who says this is a bad idea, because these movements are trendy and the mob will have my back.

After all... animal rights has more than enough attention and people supporting it, and factory farming and meat demand has been plummeting over the past few decades. We need to start diluting our resources by focusing on the other aspects of animal rights, such as cell phones, microplastics, and children who can't afford expensive shoes in the USA. We owe it to the animals to focus on other things.
