    I am shunning chicken breast too unless I catch a chicken in the yard.

    When I was a child...every spring we would buy some baby chicks to raise...they always came in a box. No baby chick was harmed...there were air holes.

    I guess that made them processed.

    We used to have chickens in our yard too and my mother plucked the feathers off, so yea processed.

    organic would be less processed

    You mean eat the bird with the feathers still attached. That would be uber organic.

    I think you'd have a hard time taking a bite while the chicken is pecking your face, but hey, nothing beats fresh!

    OP, I think if your intention is to go unprocessed, then yes the protein shakes and bars would be shunned. Is someone you know claiming to 'eat nothing processed' but then eating things you feel are processed? I'm just wondering why the question. It seems like you are trying to make a point, but being vague about it.

    Never mind. I see you clarified your point. I don't personally believe that going completely unprocessed is very likely or sustainable. Most foods are processed in some manner or another.

    Funny you say that, I have been pecked by chickens. I've scars to prove it. Chickens can be nasty critters.

    And people make fun of my fear of chickens and their beady little eyes.

    They don't have beady little eyes after you chop their heads off and pluck their feathers. But then they are processed and less healthy :wink:

    Yes, they are processed convenience foods. Eat em if you want. Don't if you don't want. I tend to avoid the lower quality, hyper palatable ones.

    I think protein shakes/bars etc have their place.

    If I had a hard workout, a couple of scoops of whey protein in some almond milk is a much more efficient way to reach my macros than trying to get that protein elsewhere. If I'm on the go and need a calorie boost, a Clif Bar is a healthy choice full of complex carbs my body can burn.

    "Goddess knows what's in them." You do. You can literally read the label and it will tell you what in them.
    I agree with this. I drink whey protein and protein bars almost everyday. But I only eat PURE WHEY protein bars. Soy is bad for women's estrogen hormones.

    Your post, it rings true
    But it's just not a haiku
    And it's real gross, too.

    Haiku rhyming foul
    Although my post may be gross
    It is less shameful

    If not, why not? They are eaten out of a wrapper and goddess knows whats in them! If you are following the 'no food out of a box or can or wrapper' diet, then shun the protein bars too.

    I am shunning chicken breast too unless I catch a chicken in the yard.

    When I was a child...every spring we would buy some baby chicks to raise...they always came in a box. No baby chick was harmed...there were air holes.

    I guess that made them processed.

    We used to have chickens in our yard too and my mother plucked the feathers off, so yea processed.

    organic would be less processed

    You mean eat the bird with the feathers still attached. That would be uber organic.

    I think you'd have a hard time taking a bite while the chicken is pecking your face, but hey, nothing beats fresh!

    OP, I think if your intention is to go unprocessed, then yes the protein shakes and bars would be shunned. Is someone you know claiming to 'eat nothing processed' but then eating things you feel are processed? I'm just wondering why the question. It seems like you are trying to make a point, but being vague about it.

    Never mind. I see you clarified your point. I don't personally believe that going completely unprocessed is very likely or sustainable. Most foods are processed in some manner or another.

    Funny you say that, I have been pecked by chickens. I've scars to prove it. Chickens can be nasty critters.

    And people make fun of my fear of chickens and their beady little eyes.

    They don't have beady little eyes after you chop their heads off and pluck their feathers. But then they are processed and less healthy :wink:

    I have a dreadful story regarding a chicken running around the yard without its head. It's not pretty.

    Me too! I found geese to be meaner though.
