Personally, I don't give two hoots as long as it tastes, looks and feels like chicken.

DNA tests say its chicken. If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, DNA tests say its chicken, then it's probably chicken

Goddammit I just missed an opportunity for a golden pun!

Should have said "I couldn't give two clucks....."

How do you know what you are eating when you eat out.

Because I'm the one who orders it!

Saying that you believe it is local chicken, (because they said so), is the same as saying, what you read on the internet is true.

Er no, it is local chicken as it's sourced from a farm not that far from here. Plus it'd be illegal for them to have stickers and advertising boards proclaiming the fact that it's local if it wasn't. Correct?

Somone else who didn't read the whole article.

DNA tests say it ain't all chicken.

Oh my. no one ever infected cows with mad cow disease by feeding them with the wrong food, and then said "what not me guv".

You've read my other posts haven't you.

Inject gristle and bone into chicken to bloat them = moremoney.

YES, that must be worth +100 post count.

How often have you seen that?.

Don't mind Azagoth, he is the board's very own Devil's Advocate. No matter what is posted, he does it differently, and better (in his own opinion.)

Thanks, but i know i can make a better argument than him.

Game ON.

Not that I'm attempting to argue or anything as I'm totally apathetic on the subject, but you still haven't actually explained why you hate the idea of this so much?

I can understand it would be upsetting for religious types who have unknowingly ingested this, but why the "beware" for the general populace?

Jesus. This seems more like a nursery every day.

If you don't like someones personality, ignore them? There's a ignore list for a reason..

I do not hate the idea of this when i do not know.

Now i do, i am not happy with it, fat is fat, bones are bones, would you knowingly put this in you're body?.

Fat in any form increasess body mass.

I think we have all bitten into a bit of gristle. Not nice.

Beware?
Because a lot of people eat white meat, including fish, for their own reasons and don't you think they should know if the info is available.

The Independent said:
In a hi-tech fraud run by firms in three EU states, food manufacturers are making bulking agents out of porcine and bovine gristle and bones that help inflate chicken breasts, so that they fetch a higher price.

So there's not really any reason to beware because the problem has now been found out and will be dealt with (I assume). I also fail to see how the countries need to be mentioned in particular.

Overreact much?

Maybe, but in this respect I am right. I don't eat chicken when I'm out and on the very odd chance that I do have a fresh chicken bap for dinner I get it from a small shop, The Womble Inn, that only uses locally sourced chickens. Probably one of the main reasons behind it being successfully open for at least 25 years.

So what's the problem?

There are no personalities that i hate, why would i ignore anyone.

When you post here, there is always somone who will take a certain view with the intention of having a row.

You just have to be prepared to take up the cudgel. :cool:

Sure, I think people should know, but I think you're perhaps being a bit too militant about it.

Many fats are essential for your body - "fat in any form increases body mass" is generalising, which is wrong. It may be the wrong type of fat in this case, granted, but statements like that are simply incorrect.

We've all bitten into gristle, and the reason it isn't nice is because of the texture and solidity - hence you spit it out and go "eeurrgh".

Here, you don't even notice it. It's powdered and so minute that, hell, you didn't even KNOW it was there.

If you dislike fat and bones so much, do you turn your nose up at a nice T-Bone Steak or rack of ribs? I know I don't. If you want to avoid all that jazz then just become a vegetarian, tbh.

Now you are making me mad.

If so i am sorry for doubting you.

If no then........

And no bones and gristle are bad for you, not good fats.

If i have t bone i do not eat the bones, if i did my plate would say 'Fido here boy, catch'.

Your logic here, when having a go at Azagoth is entirely cyclical. You're berating him for believing he eats locally sourced chicken because his Inn tells him so, while you're getting all flustered over beef in your chicken because a journalist told you so.

Did you personally go and perform these DNA tests?

I so I am sorry for doubting you.

If no then......
