    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.

    I don't understand a word you just said.

    GIFs and haikus are
    MFP's preferred form of
    Communication

    This thread is about
    The wrapped up foods to not eat
    Stop derailing it

    Protein bar are processed foods
    But some veggies come wrapped up
    I am so confused

    You're not confused.

    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.

    Organic would be grown in different conditions but could be processed identically.

    How do you calm a chicken? Put rose colored glasses on it:

    Yes, these are real and yes, they prevent fowl from pecking an injured bird to death. The color keeps them from seeing blood. My Dad used to help out at a game farm putting these on the pheasants.

    Absolutely correct. They are processed and come in a wrapper.

    Is there seriously a 'no food out of a box or can or wrapper' diet? The diet industry just gets crazier and crazier.

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

    Killing, bleeding, de-feathering, etc. is referred to as "processing" the chicken. :) Even if it comes from your yard.

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

    That's where all the fiber is.
