00:00Oh my god! Rawr! Rawr! A chicken!

00:05There's two things so many of us seem to love.

00:09Making people laugh...

00:10London make some noise, man!

00:12...and chicken.

00:16I only remember one chicken shop growing up.

00:18Now, in the UK, there's over 6,000.

00:22This bird is big business, boy.

00:24I want to find out what this food is doing to our bodies and our minds.

00:29I'm going to do an experiment.

00:3028 days eating nothing but fast-food fried chicken.

00:36I think you're going to die.

00:37Just for eating chicken?

00:39We're talking about ultra-processed chicken.

00:42These foods promote chronic disease.

00:45What do you think about me doing this experiment?

00:48I wouldn't do it.

00:49I'm in chicken heaven.

00:51No, no, man!

00:51You haven't been tasting what nature created

00:53because chicken doesn't have any flavor anymore.

00:55Oh, shit!

00:57It's one of the ingredients they also use in condoms.

01:00Bruh!

01:01It is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

01:04Fast-food companies definitely target lower-income communities.

01:07We're dying.

01:08And do you think that food doesn't play a part in that?

01:11In the chicken industry, you're seeing undocumented workers.

01:14We have heard workers being forced to wear diapers.

01:18Guys, I'm going mad.

01:19Oh, that stinks!

01:20That's what you would smell every day!

01:21Every day!

01:22The animals have to come from somewhere.

01:24I didn't think chicken would have me in Lincolnshire at night-time following coordinates.

01:30He said, big man, am I going to get men in black suits that are outside of my house now?

01:36I don't feel like myself.

01:38I feel low, man.

01:41I just want to stop eating it, man.

01:44There's big problems.

01:45In the industry, it's too powerful for its own god.

01:48There's no corners cut in the UK.

01:49It's not a risk.

01:51The question is, what are you hiding?

01:54How deep does it really go?

01:58I feel like Martin Kemp.

02:00That's his name, innit?

02:00Martin Kemp.

02:01Oh no, that's the guy from Splendale Ballet.

02:03Ross Kemp.
