Apparently, CAFOs have become so successful at raising frankenfood
animals, we now grow chickens with breasts that weigh as much as an

I've come across that twice, even mentioned it here. Once
in a restaurant and once in some take out chinese.

It freaks me out to bite into a rubber piece of chicken.
Operation Gag Reflex.

Yep! I've noticed that!! I split today's chicken breasts into two for two meals because they are so huge! FrankenFood is RIGHT! :-(

Yeah, I've seen those things that look like Schwarzenegger's
pecs. I've been buying Bell & Evans because they're smaller.
Sure, they're $7 per pound, but that gets me four meals.
Well worth it, since skinless, boneless chicken breast is
my major source of meat.

Which should be the *minimum* retail price possible, reflecting the
cost of raising all chicken properly.

I've noted it too. I'm not a white meat chicken fan overall. When we
make a chicken, most of the breast goes to the doggies (who give us
long suffering looks because they are also dark meat fans).

Most of the time I do leg quarters or thighs because we like it better.
Sadly, we've had quite a few times lately where breast was cheaper than
thighs or thighs were not in stock.

Are you ppl clueless?

Do you not know what CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations)
are and how they are turning our food into inedible garbage!? Got
nothing to do with what they did "years ago". Duh.

You really should ask yourself the same question.

Can you find any references to 'CAFO' outside of the U.S?
(I see you saw the need to explain the acronym, I wonder why?)
Also, not all countries permit this type of barbaric operation. Why
assume what occurs in America also happens everywhere else?

'Duh' indeed.

That would be excruiatingly bland, devoid of texture, and over priced,
I presume. Seriously, a catfish filet has a more distinct flavor.

It seems to be international. A gal I see on a FB food group just
mentioned that today. Said she fired off an email about it.

Yes it does, Janet UK is absolutely right. Boiler fowls were larger birds and used in our household for making soup. For roasting, younger birds or capons were used.

The change in the quality of supermarket meat and other products (which you can choose to buy if you like) is that they are made for a criterion other than taste and texture.

No kidding, that's interesting.

It's not like anything I've come across before, nothing like
overcooked or whatever bad things people do to chicken.
It's something different and it's bad, and I will send it back
the next time it happens, if I have the misfortune of doing so.

"MrD" is not a problem. "DS1" certainly is. I guess expecting some people of advanced age to get 3 random characters and one semi-random number right is too much to expect. What the heck, they're off-kilter about everything else anyway. Hee hee.
