Personally, I prefer the dark meat.
I generally buy boneless skinless thigh meat,


... and you know how it's been produced of course ...

It looks like meat to me...... ;-)

I know it's been saline treated, but I don't particularly care. 

No, I was thinking more of how it had been raised. And killed.


The reason I got chickens is because I objected to the close quarters
cages and lack of feathers. After watching the way chickens can pick
on each other free range, I shudder to think what happens in close
quarters. 

What I don't know is how they are killed. Dead is dead, right? Isn't
it a clean fast humane death? i would think it would be uneconomical
to be any other

It's all done on a conveyor system...they hang them by their feet and the "slitters", people with sharp knives just stand and slit throats all day....quite gruesome enough, but efficient....far better than the killing floor at a beeve plant....

beeve plant? Slitting their throats? i casn imagine the flopping and blood spatter on those workers. Slitting a throat should be pretty fast and efficient. It's not less fguesome that hatcheting off their heads. One yesterday was flopping around clicking a few yards away (didn't know that they could cluck with no head) while his head was in my hand with his eyes blinking at me. i dropped the head and screamed like a little girl. So untypical of me.

Kind of gives the "go" on all those stories about the guillotine victims and France, huh? At Beef plants, they hit them in the head first with a device loaded with a shotgun slug but sometimes it only stuns them and then they slit...it is very bloody...my brother's best friend in highschool's family owned the local processing plant and Joe worked there one summer....for about 2 days....found out that there's tough guys and then there's "tough" guys...ended up puking all over from the stench and the mistakes...
