Do you eat anything at all? Cause a good part of pretty much everything is loaded with lab chemicals.

This is such a nonsense position though. We have a very good handle on how food works, why trust whatever has evolved over years- partially randomly- for a designed artifice, targeted to be better for you.
Shit farmers have been doing it for the last few thousand years, through grafting, through pesticides and fertilisers, through selective breeding. Lab based methods use exactly the same principles but just do it properly and efficiently.

THEY WERE RIGHT!

Unless you reflux your chicken at several hundred degrees for days that is not a valid comparision.
That said, the biggest problem is these settings is not so much contaminants -though they can be harmful, depends on the method which I don't know here- it's inefficiacy.
