Do you think it would be unhealthy to eat Tyson's Boneless Chicken Breasts twice a week?

I’ve had a lot of their products. I rather like their General Tso’s Chicken. ^_^

The Grilled and Ready stuff is pretty awesome, if you’re looking for something to throw on your salads.

I’m sure someone will say that it’s processed and evil and you’ll start glowing in the dark or something, but I’m not dead yet.

I don’t think it’s unhealthy. It’s your total diet that has to be considered. I’m sure too that someone will say processed foods are the work of the devil, but I like them too. I’ve had a lot of their products and I’m sure there are some in my freezer right now.

I only buy Tyson’s and Purdue. My mom told me only those brands, but can’t remember why? Maybe it is that they are no hormone? Some sort of health reason. I wish I could remember exactly to tell you. I just do what she tells me when it cones to stuff like that. Tyson’s and Purdue tend to taste better anyway.

No, not really. I think it would be perfectly healthy.

The answer would depend on a lot of things but most importantly would be if you have any health issues, how the chicken is prepared and how much of it you eat.

Given Tyson’s history with water contamination, antibiotics injections into chickens and truly questionable methods of slaughtering poultry, I personally wouldn’t touch the stuff.

@gailcalled That’s interesting.

Tyson Foods has recently been mean to little piggies also. They don’t seem to learn from experience.

If these chunks are raw, frozen chicken that you cook, I would not be too concerned. If they are breaded and fried before packaging, I would eat them less often. I too have concerns about Tyson’s history concerning animal treatment and safety concerns about their products. Try and buy locally produced poultry products if you can.

As long as you also eat plenty of grains, fruits and vegetables I don’t believe it can hurt you.

Their chicken is horrendous and so fatty and I can only imagine what goes into it or how the chickens are treated etc. Yes you should probably just eliminate it from your diet.

My only comment is that Tyson’s represents something that I do not like.

It is OK to raise animals for food.

I do not think it is OK to raise food, forgetting about the word animal.

Food factories, like Tyson’s bother me.

While it may not be unhealthy for your body, it might be a bit unhealthy for your soul.

I would rather spend a little extra and get animal products where there is evidence of a basic level of humane treatment.

What is so difficult with making it yourself and better?

Where does it say the OP is not cooking the chicken from scratch? I assumed she was buying the breasts raw, obviously other jellies assumed cooked. Truth is we have no idea which is right.

I only eat free range (and I mean REAL free range) critters, be they feathered or 4 legged. @gailcalled and @josie spelled it out precisely. REAL free range is more expensive so we eat less meat. If you choose to eat factory farmed you are not only contributing to cruelty to animals, you are slowly but surely poisoning and killing yourself. The choice is yours.

NO. Tyson’s Boneless Chicken Breasts are healthy when eaten at a frequency of twice weekly. I would be shocked if an analysis of your diet concluded that was the worst thing you were doing.
