It is a very high price to pay for chicken fed by meat and bone meal, rotten fish, and pumped with steroids. Look at the arms of Sri Lankan women and, ask yourself if the health risks justify eating farm produced chicken. Has there ever been a study into the health risks from Sri Lankan farm produced chicken ? Not forgetting, the yellow chemical dye fed to the chickens to make the egg yokes more attractively coloured ( orange).

Minister of Trade on numerous occasions pledged that he would bring down the cost of chicken to Rs 860/= before the Christmas season 2023, considering high prices of fish. Even the Ho. Speaker has hinted that the excessive prices of chicken have had a deleterious impact on the cost of living. It appears that the Minister has not taken any tangible measurers to control the prices of chicken, allowing the traders to jack up prices of chicken according to their whims and fancies.
