The Jilin Deda chicken factory in Dehui City, China is a stunning vision of the epic love affair between chicken and man, anal retention and China’s kind of freedom.

“It is one of the largest poultry-processing plants in the world, and 375,000 chickens are slaughtered, plucked, dismembered and packaged here each working day.

That is 100 million birds every year, and the plant’s speciality, in the unappetising jargon of the meat industry, is the production of “frozen bone-in and boneless chicken parts”.

Most of the produce from the bird carcasses hanging on the hooks on the right of the photograph is consumed on the domestic market.

But chicken meat ‘processed’ in this shed is exported to 20 other countries, including Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, Russia and Japan.”

There’s only one very tiny thing: each of these workers get the equivalent of a £31 a month salary, the region’s minimum wage, making these workers just about as valuable as some fingerlickin’ chicken leg.

Fascinating, isn’t it, that the white meat I so dearly love comes from places like Jilin Deda, where it’s really hard to tell which is chicken and which is human. But as that grand old man of deep-fried chicken-love, Colonel Sanders, used to say, sometimes you just don’t wanna know; you just wanna fucking eat.
