America’s abiding love for breaded, fried bits of chicken may be a boon to public health.

Forget, for a second, the role those McNuggets and chicken sandwiches may play in the obesity. McDonald’s is the country’s second-largest poultry buyer—lagging behind none other than Colonel Sanders—purchasing 750 million pounds of chicken annually.
