    Thank you for the suggestion, I'll be sure to look for it. Even though we eat a lot of organic meat (we harvest our own) I don't see any problem with picking up something quick and easy on occasion too. I've even been known to have pepperoni pizza on occasion. Besides, it sounds like from this thread if you dwell to much on your protein source you become very bitter and judgemental.

    Oh dear... :laugh: This kills me when people get so worked up over a topic like processed chicken... I mean really? Chiiiiillllllll out dudes. xD I agree that people shouldn't, as some have said "gang up" on her, but just as she stated her opinion on it, others have the right to state theirs as well. I personally have learned over my ups and downs of dieting since I was 12 years old (yes) that the more natural the better for your body. This is however my opinion and how I feel on the subject. I can also understand why certain things would be easier for people who don't have much time left in the day, and that's their choice. However, aren't you guys in a sense being a bit hypocritical and "ganging up" on those who had organic/natural opinions on this post. I think some could have stated it better, but maybe they were just trying to help her with relating healthier options?? Anyways, like I said, it's chicken people, and what can you expect from the world wide internet but different opinions... chill. xD

    I'm offended that the OP would suggest anything short of raising your own poultry, slaughtering it yourself by hand, and then of course cooking it over and organic wood fired grill.

    Anything less is completely irresponsible for you, your children, and the neighborhood ferrets.

    For those of us with real jobs and other things to do, yeah, the hillshire farms jobbies are pretty good. Their kielbasa is god awful though.

    Thanks for the tip. It's always nice to know what's available in a pinch!

    Especially when I don't have the time to raise my own non antibiotic, non-GMO, socially aware and emotionally stable chickens.

    Honestly, I don't actually kill them. I convince them to kill themselves for the good of society.

    Unfortunately, they can't cut themselves up after death, so I do help out there.


    :laugh: Yes!

    Amen and amen.

    I for one LOVE the lemon pepper version of the HF chicken breasts...perfect for my lunch bag...which sometimes I even bother to recycle. ;)

    Well for the record I never said they were healthy, I only said they were yummy. I'm not offended, I actually find a lot of the comments entertaining at the least lol. Anyhow everyone can make up their own mind as to whether or not they want to give one a try, all I know is I plan to eat them again :}

    I really hate this message board sometimes. You tried to do something nice by offering an opinion on something you thought was quick, tasty, and healthy. And you got bashed for it by others who don't agree with you and chose to criticize you. Sheesh... If they don't agree with you, just leave it alone. It's up to each of us to look at labels and make the choice on whether or not we want to eat it. You were just trying to help. So, thank you.

    I was just thinking the same thing. Someone asked a question or shares something and it turns into a war or words and a debate. Let's prove my side is right type thing. Come on everyone. Everyone has the right to there own thoughts on a subject. And they have to make the choices for themselves. Maybe what someone puts is a question they really want to understand or something that is a better choice then what they used to do. Just because everyone isn't on the same page in a book doesn't make it wrong or something to bash about. People have to make due with what they got at a time. I don't have a whole foods, or trader joes anywhere in a 2 hr radius or more of me. And not everyone has alot of time. People are still trying to figure things out. Give your thoughts but don't bash someone. If you say something with respect they are more likely to listen. Start bashing and they will likely skip your post all together. So if there was anything to learn there they won't of seen it.

    I've only been around here a couple weeks.
    Some of you folks have this holier than thou attitude. What give's??
    You need to chill out!!
    Were you born knowing everything. Why HELL no you weren't!!
    Did you dip your chicken in hot water so the feathers come out easier!?!
    No on that as well!!!
    Wonder why people keep to themselves or get discouraged so quickly and want to give up??
    Look in the mirror...if you're not helping people then your hurting them!!!

    To OP: I had also recently tried Hillshire Farms Grilled Chicken and you know (Gasp) I liked it as well. I think it is a great alternative to eating out and it is quick and easy to grab and go when you need a quick lunch idea. Thank you for the suggestion!

    I'm many years in a couple of support groups and what I am seeing here is that some people are forgetting the word SUPPORT. What we can't do alone we can do together. Everyone is in a different place and it's important to let them be there. Some people just need to lose a bit of weight and some of us such as me my life is depending on it. I must watch my sodium like a hawk but a lot of people don't. My daughter got me onto this site and she has done very well on it, she lost 70 pounds on it but she doesn't have high blood pressure or cholesteral, hasn't had a heart attack or stroke so she can eat lots of things that I can't and I certainly don't tell her not to eat them. If it is a lifestyle change then each person must decide how they want to change their lifestyle and we cheer them on.

    While I try hard to eat clean also, it's nice to have ideas in a pinch!

    And BTW...I LOVE Eggo Frozen Waffles!

    I was just scanning throught posts and saw this one. It really dissapoints me. I work in the poultry industry for a division of Tyson Foods. I wish consumers were more educated. I can 100% tell you that chicken does not receive any other hormones than what God gave them. Hormones are not orally active, therefore it would be inefficient and not cost effective for Tyson to inject each chicken. Companies like Tyson pride themselves on animal welfare and genetic selection. We have genetically selected a healthier, faster growing, feed converting bird through years of research and trials. Birds are only treated with antibiotics when necessary and there has been a big push in recent years to go antibiotic free. Feel free to message me if you would like to discuss the matter further. I can appreciate everyone having their own opinion. If you choose to eat organic, free range poultry then that is your decision, but you need to get all the facts before influencing others.
