    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:

    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

    :tongue:

    Must report dis post

    Go away you troll

    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.

    Turkeys can be badbutts too.

    After head chopped off
    If bird power walks instead
    Is it still processed?

    Only if it doesn't walk very far.

    Yes they do. I have a scar on my leg from a mean rooster we had when I was a kid.

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

    Not exactly talons, but they do have nasty spurs.

    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.

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