I just came back from the store with a package of chicken breast halfs. There were 3 in the package. The package weighed 4.75 pounds! Where are these chicken parts coming from, a drumstick must look like a softball bat.
Her breasts were full and plump.

Funny you mention this. I was at a friends place last Sunday and he was preparing chicken breast. He held one up and said it had to be the largest chicken breast he'd ever seen and that it must weigh 2 lbs.
What else but growth hormone. And then we consume it! Many studies point to this as contributing to our children developing at an ever earlier age.
I mean its not uncommon today for girls to start their cycle at 10 years of age!

Hey, maybe that's why I'm growing man-boobs. I thought I was just getting fat (er).

I've noticed....
The same thing also. The breasts are so big it seems that one could be cut in half to feed 2 people.

We were talking at work the other day
I bought some chickens at Sam's Club and swear these chicks must have been the Dolly Parton of the Hen coop.

I've heard they pump them up with water

We have bought some huge chicken breasts lately too- We cooked them and then cut them in half. 3 of us ate on 1 1/2 breasts and I used the other ones for chicken salad the next day! I have a whole chicken in the freezer right now that I swear is the size of a small turkey! I could serve it for Thanksgiving and no one would know the difference!

Gosh, I'm so happy it's illegal to use hormones over here!
Plus there's a ban on importing US meats in the EU but that ban is being challenged by both the WTO and the US itself! I hope things will stay the way they are!
I like my food as natural as possible!

"So round, so firm, so fully packed."
Fortunately, growth hormones are outlawed in poultry in the US, as well. I may be incorrect, but I believe we have the likes of McDonalds, et al. to thank for the extraordinarily large breasts available through genetic modification.
I don't blame the EU for outlawing the import of US meat and poultry, the overseeing agencies have been so gutted in recent decades that inspectors can't do their jobs anymore. So now we are seeing many more reports of contamination, than we had in the past. That coupled with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in this country.

all these meat additives are scary !
It's really hard to find pork now that isn't injected with water, saline and &c. Lately we've been buying locally raised and butchered Beef & Pork, grass fed and finished on corn the last couple months, no additives, and it's wonderful... we had to buy a 2nd freezer (new small "GE") to store it all, a whole hog and 1/2 an Angus steer. Now we need to find local organic chicken, if we can.

Lordy, the words to that song are scandelious! Where will this country be in 1948? Where's my bible, I must pray...

All this scandalous talk has me coming down with the vapors!

Really good chicken has not only gone up in price but has become very hard to find, well at least in the NYC area.
Yes, you can find plenty of that horrid Perdue, Tyson's or other stuff (calling it chicken would be too generous", but for me they are lacking.
First chicken is not supposed to be yellow! Then there is all the fat and water. Depending upon one's cooking method you may need to drain excess water.
Good chicken used to an inexpensive staple for meal planning, not any more. The increase in prices versus often reduced portions have many around here considering becoming vegetarian. *LOL*

Look at the pictures!
In old cookbooks of fried chicken...the pieces dont look anything like chicken today...its soooo much better like my Grandmother fixed it, walk out in the yard, pick up the one you want, wring its neck and bleed it then pluck and clean it, and into a iron skillet of hot lard....totally different!

Laundress, I am mostly vegetarian, and really don't miss a thing about meat. Certainly not the price.
I say "mostly" because if I go out, or visit friends/family I eat whatever is available. I feel much better, my wallet feels much heavier, and I don't miss meat at all -certainly not all the hormones and drugs it's filled with. I'd suggest everyone try one or two meatless days a week and explore just how good meatless can be.
