The prices of chicken and eggs are particularly low this year. Despite this, people are not as enthusiastic about the consumption of chicken and eggs as expected. So why are more and more people losing interest in eating chicken? Most of the theories seem to be because the H7N9 epidemic has been discovered in some places and it feels unsafe to eat chicken. In fact, this is only one of the reasons.

The reasons why more and more people do not eat chicken should be analyzed from the following aspects:

1. With the increasing prosperity of the economy and the rapid development of the logistics industry With development, people have more and more necessities such as food, clothing, and housing that they can consume. As far as three meals a day are concerned, the common people's dining tables no longer have a single staple food or dish, but often include three or four on weekdays and more than a dozen on festivals. "Improving food" is no longer the original method of "cutting some meat to make dumplings" or "stewing a chicken", but has become a method of calling a hotel to book a room. In this context, chicken is no longer one of the few choices for daily consumption, but one of many. So, it seems like people don’t like eating chicken anymore.

2. Most of the chicken products sold on the market are meat-eating chickens. The quality of meat-eating chickens is poor and “unpalatable” compared with beef and mutton. During the production process of broiler chickens, a large number of hormones and chemical additives are added to the feed. In addition, the production cycle is only a few dozen days. This fast-growing and fast-growing meat is like puffed food, whether it looks good or not. It is precisely because of the poor quality of the meat that most people feel that the chicken does not taste as good as it originally did. Since it doesn’t taste good, everyone simply doesn’t buy it or eat it, and instead eats delicious beef and mutton. Local stupid chicken is more delicious, but because it is rare and expensive, the price is relatively high. Except for a few people who consume it occasionally, ordinary families are often discouraged. This should be the main reason why people don’t eat chicken.

3. Changes in health concepts, nutritional balance and vegetarian lifestyles affect chicken consumption. Modern people's health concepts are changing unconsciously, from the pursuit of eating enough to the pursuit of eating well; from seeing big fish and meat as beauty to seeing rare and expensive things as fashion; from blind eating and drinking to scientific health preservation. This change also brings changes in consumer demand. The lifestyle of big fish and big meat is no longer what most people pursue. Many people also put forward the concept of green consumption from the perspective of health and environmental protection, and quietly started a vegetarian life. This situation has also resulted in chicken becoming less popular than it once was.

4. The occurrence of poultry infectious diseases such as H7N9 has led to people’s fear of chicken and chicken products. I'm worried about being unsafe and getting infected, so I stay away from it.

In fact, for everyone, whether to eat chicken or not is purely a personal choice and is not the key to the problem. The key to the problem is to eat healthily and safely to live a fulfilling life. quality.
