Incredible Edible Chicken


Most people think the burger is America's national dish, but the rightful honor goes to chicken. We are crazy about chicken and the National Chicken Council is trying to get us to eat more of it. Chicken consumption has risen nearly 100 percent in the past 10 years. More that 20 percent of Americans eat chicken eight times every two weeks and only 8 percent eat it less than once every two weeks. Ninety percent eat chicken purchased it at restaurants, fast-food outlets or cafeterias. Fear of bird flu discouraged chicken consumption for a short time, but chicken fever is back and the popularity of the food continues!
