Though the strange appearance of the chicken may not be dangerous to eat, it has reignited concerns about modern poultry farming practices. Many pointed out that the push for larger chicken breasts to meet fast food and supermarket demand may be harming animal welfare.

The unsettling image prompted some to explore alternatives like locally sourced meat or even plant-based diets. While experts say “spaghetti meat” is safe, consumers are increasingly questioning the quality and ethics behind the food on their plates.
