People eat more and more chicken

DID you know that there are more chickens in the world than any other bird?

More than 50 billion chickens are reared every year for food - both for their meat and their eggs.

In the 1960s chicken was viewed by many people as a treat and they ate less than 1kg of it a year. Today this amount has grown to almost 2kg each month.
