That’s exactly the problem.
That, and British people need British farmers to stay solvent; Americans dumping chicken on the market doesn’t help with that.
Every US meat product has so much shit in it that you can only order well done cooking in most states.

They let you order it raw if you want! Freedumb! Meanwhile there’s old meat residue on the walls and ceiling covered in flies in the processing plant. (The article is about cured meats but just work with me here).

You’re not wrong, though chicken is at least 10x better than beef, and “only” 10x worse than plants.
Edit: just realised I gave relative carbon costs, not just the feed costs, like you referenced. Apparently from a feed perspective chickens are 2:1. And Beef is 7:1, so yet again beef is the bull in the china shop.
