      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.

      Yard birds are crazy
      with their beady little eyes
      Roast them with zeal

      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

      :tongue:

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

      I mean, does it have to be in the yard?

      Do chickens have talons?

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

      organic would be less processed

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

      I can't believe none of you made a comment that my haiku wasn't correct. I waited and waited for someone to say "that isn't a proper haiku!" Lol

      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.

      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.

      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.

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

      That's where all the fiber is.
