Food list › Meat, poultry & game

Is chicken allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

No

No. Dr. Al-Awadi excluded this food himself.

Why chicken is off the list

Today's chicken isn't the bird your grandmother cooked. It reaches full size in a few weeks, indoors, on corn and soy, with routine medicine. And what it eats ends up in you: more of one kind of fat (omega-6) than a bird raised outside.

The detail

Modern broilers reach slaughter weight in weeks on corn-and-soy feed, raised indoors by the tens of thousands and routinely medicated. The feed changes the food: grain-fed birds carry measurably more omega-6 fat than pasture-raised ones.

The rule behind the verdict

Raised on factory feed

Did the doctor say this himself?
