Beef Delivers More Micronutrients Per Calorie Than Chicken

USDA data and nutrient-scoring analyses show beef (especially grass-fed) often has higher density of micronutrients like iron, zinc and B vitamins per calorie than chicken; chicken remains a high-protein staple but typically offers fewer of these micronutrients on a per-calorie basis. The findings feed into the MAHA push and the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines, which emphasize nutrient-dense, minimally processed proteins, while noting costs and access vary by meat type and region.

Survey uncovers grilling sins, fears, and unwritten rules at the BBQ

A 5,000-person survey finds the biggest grilling sins are touching someone else’s grill (32%), skipping meat rest (31%), and lifting the lid too often (30%), with many Americans intimidated by grilling and especially nervous about cooking chicken. Whole chicken tops the list as the riskiest and most difficult item to grill, prompting many to stick to safer foods. Unwritten rules include not touching another’s grill without permission, letting meat rest before serving, and not opening the lid unnecessarily. Despite fears, nearly half would grill more if given more opportunities.

The Mystery of 597 Million Missing Chickens in the U.S. Food Chain

A report by Animal Equality reveals that 597 million chickens in the US die before reaching the food supply annually, highlighting significant food waste and animal welfare issues. These deaths occur due to diseases, rough handling, and breeding practices that prioritize rapid growth, leading to health problems. The reduction in antibiotic use, aimed at combating antibiotic resistance, has also contributed to rising mortality rates. The poultry industry faces challenges in balancing animal welfare, public health, and production efficiency, with some companies like Perdue Farms adopting measures to reduce mortality without antibiotics.

Scientists Unravel the Chicken-or-Egg Evolutionary Puzzle

Scientists from Geneva University have potentially resolved the age-old question of whether the chicken or the egg came first. Their research on the single-celled organism Chromosphaera perkinskii, found in Hawaiian marine sediments and dating back over a billion years, suggests that the genetic mechanisms for egg development existed long before chickens evolved. This indicates that eggs, as reproductive structures, predate the emergence of chickens by a significant margin.
