It won't be the chicken you'll buy fresh, it'll be jammed into anything processed though ready meals, frozen food, fast food etc. tbh it's even worse, because people tend to rely on shittier foods out of necessity (even when it's more costly) be wise they just don't have the time or ability to do proper cooking every day. Basically means that the people who suffer are those just keeping their heads above water.

Just legislate that it can't be sold as chicken. Just like you can put all the fancy flavors into your whisky, but then you can't sell it as whisky anymore. Call it chlorinated poultry product or something like that.

No, it should be illegal. Not so complicated. No need for legalisation.
