Alright, how do you prepare it? I would assume cleaning it, using the broth and fat and making it into some sort of soupy gravy, heating+seasoning the chicken, and then serving in the soup?

its just like corned beef.its cooked in the can at the factory ,the skin is white so we didnt eat that,but the meat is very tender.

Canned whole chicken? Or just boneless meat? Some chicken meat chunks in a can aren't as bad as they sound.

Convenience, mostly, I would guess. All that meat in an easy to store, long lasting container. Also, couple things to note: 1) this looks like an extremely cheap form of whole canned chicken, I'm sure name brand ones are a bit better and 2) all that yellow juice and stuff is pretty much fats from the chicken which are responsible for most of the delicious, chickeny flavor.

I almost vomited, had to watch that right after dinner... when I had some real roasted chicken breast, baby potatos and vegetables. The difference was my meal actually contained chicken.

ok you had real chicken.even though its injected with water and chemicals.? the canned chicken was a whole bird with all the bones still in. just a little plucked bird squeezed into a can.very organic and good for you/

Why do you assume the chicken was injected with water and chemicals... I live in New Zealand... It's 100% pure chicken breast, killed that day on a free range farm, cut from the bone, skinless, tender-basted, sprinkled with herbs and spices.

I have no idea how the rest of the world lives, but we do our meats right at least.

A can would skyrocket the sodium levels and be perserved in fats or other nasty liquids. I don't eat the bones, nor are they even good for my dog or anything else for that matter. Plus how long do they sit those cans on a shelf? Your idea of what is organic is crazy (your kidding right).

It's probably for places where raising livestock is difficult (northern countries)

Chickens raised around here get fed growth hormones so they can stay in supply. But any chicken that isn't tender as hell, even after you cook it for 5 hours has been fed a growth hormone of some kind. After a chicken leaves it's younger ages the meat from it gets old and harder to cook. Many farms that sell chicken speed the way they grow up for more money and an easier to eat meat.

Even if that meat can sometimes have a side effect on children.

Growth Hormones are not used in NZ Poultry Industry. That's illegal here and the animals right group will shut that down instantly. Quite a few are also against battery cages, we get the option of free range / battery cage - each gets a label what is used. One guy tried faking battery cages as free range (as they are slightly more expensive) but got shutdown for that as well (that was for eggs).

We have SPCA, SAFE, etc... all for animal rights and ending animal cruelty.

Yet a standard size chicken here would still never be able to fit in a can. Where's the meat in that can? There's barely any as far as I can tell. What do that get fed there?

Judging by the general state of the chicken combined with the super-generic label, I'm guessing that the choice bits of meat were actually removed from the chicken and used in some other processed food.

So they are literally just getting the chicken waste which should of been throw out, and rather than grinding it up into 'murican hotdogs or chicken nuggets, just stuffing it into a can like a brain soup.

Fast forward to the ends...

I think you can be programmed to eat whatever they throw at you, so long it's got enough rubbish added to favour... depending how we are brought up as kids eating things.
