Something's up, Guys.

I've gotten those before too. Where a half a breast feeds two people and the meat has a unpleasant condensed and solid mouthfeel, like you're chewing on hard silicone.

Although when they say 'genetically modified' it simply means they're fed GMO grain from what little I read.

Doncha just hate it when you're munching on breasts and they turn out tasting like silicone.

I have just been informed that it's all linked to this;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratos...geoengineering)

By a man who also insists that global warming is a hoax and the "Al Gore version" is simply "....a way to collect revenues to pay for " aerosol sulfate spraying".

Ummmm......

Global Warming is a "hoax"* being foisted upon us to pay for this program designed to cool the global atmosphere?

Man, those bastards are clever.

(* A tightly guarded secret that can be found on several website simply by Googling it, BTW.)

I like the real thing, but I certainly would complain about prime silicone neither.

Don't know why, but this thread made me think of an old movie. Do you folks remember Fried Green Tomatoes? Remember when they were serving extra tasty ribs for free to that cop guy who was looking for the missing ex-husband.

eeewwwweeeeee

I was under the impression that they pump them full of hormones to make them grow faster and bigger.

Chemistry is my weakest subject. I have to agree, though, that chicken breasts in the supermarket seem unusually large.

Here is a paper that says chickens are genetically selected and not given hormones.

I dunno what to believe anymore.
