Suspicious chicken pieces
I don’t know about y’all, but between food quality and food prices I’m basically vegetarian nowadays. (TikTok screencap)

I don't know about y'all, but between food quality and food prices I'm basically anorexic nowadays. (meirl)

Beans, rice, lentils, oat meal, almonds, some frozen mixed veggies, and some soy nuggets; that's basically all I eat anymore due to the rising costs of food. And portion control as well because hot damn are costs flying up.
It's dirt cheap and filling as hell, but damn do I miss going out to eat every weekend with the guys. We only go out once a month now and this last meet up we brought up not going out to eat but doing potlucks instead (which I'm down for for sure).

Plant based diets are cheaper and healthier presuming you eat correctly.
-
A 25 lb bag of rice is $10 at Costco. I rotate between several different curries/stews/proteins on a bed of rice and it's delicious.
-
I'm not a vegetarian, but it's very rare that my protein of choice is not pork, ground beef or chicken these days for cost reasons. I'd love to be able to buy steaks every now and then, but it's just not worth it these days.

First I reduced quality, next I reduced variety, then I reduced quantity. Not sure what to do now. As Jurgis from The Jungle would say, I guess “I will work harder.”

AND THEN YOU COOK IT IN A FUCKING TEFLON PAN
-
The teflon is fine, you could eat it even, its the precursor chemicals which are harmful and the teflon will only break back down into those if you fuck up and heat the pan to nearly glowing.
-
Okay but does that matter? I recently saw a video from Veratasium about teflon and there they mentioned that teflon is too large to be absorbed by the body, it just comes out on the other end. It's the smaller compounds used for producing teflon that are poisoning our water, bodies, and everything else with PFAS. Companies just dumping this poison into our water supply. If this is false I'm open to learn ofc.
-
What's wrong with teflon?
-
Its manufacturing requires relatively large quantities of fairly toxic and also very resistant chemicals. This means that when they enter the environment (and they will), they will poison it for a very long time, with consequences that are not yet fully understood.
In addition, it decomposes when heated above 260°C and can detach from the pan and get into your food. Keep in mind that almost all oils start to smoke well before reaching this temperature, so you should be able to tell when you've just ruined your pan.
In my opinion: hot stainless steel and a little butter will prevent food from sticking. This requires a (easy to learn, but still) technique, but once you got it, you can enjoy your stainless steel pan for basically forever.

I am on steel now. It's all that shitty cast iron promised to be. Heat and wait for the Leidenfrost.

You should be put in food jail. That's food waste I cannot accept. A living being has been raised and slaughtered to accommodate you and you throw it away due to perceived funny ness? Where do you get your meat that that's even a thing and why do you keep shopping there? Either it is all good or it is rotten. "Fresh" Meat is not sufficiently dry and solid to separate good and bad bits.

sir, this is a wendy's

Amen. Lately we've started buying whole rotisserie chickens. There's so much meat! I make sure I scrape the neck, the ribs, get all the brown meat around the spine and inside the ribcage, get that liver, there's so much to eat. One chicken feeds the whole family of four, and then two people for lunch the next day. All for like 7 dollars.
-
While I entirely support stating "something was killed for this meme/video/tik-tok" we don't know that the other 95% of the chicken isn't off camera.
-
Maybe it's a vegetarian thing but I almost never have to worry about eating stuff that's off. Unless there's visible mold on it, so long as it passes the sniff test and sometimes taste test if I'm feeling a little suspicious I'll eat anything that's been in the fridge over a week without any noticeable consequences.
-
I also eat veg when I go to that sketchy Indian take out place.
-
-
I eat all the chicken except the feathers and beak.
-
Not very Asian of you.
-
At least they get through the bones and feet.

Does your dad know you are on social media?

You mean after you remove all the mechanical pieces and spyware?
-
Asd people will get this.
-
I have been weirdly picky about meat my entire life. It took until recently to realize it was a 'tism thing.
-
Maybe just don’t eat meat then instead of sacrificing a living creature and then throwing most of it away.

Super easy when you get fake chicken :3
-
I have a super easy solution for you OP
(don't eat corpses)
-
What sick fuck eats a living animal?
-
You never cook your veggies?

The size of supermarket chicken breasts after you cook off all the water padding
You gotta buy "air chilled" chicken. Water chilled chicken absorbs lots of extra water and shrinks like that.
wtf are these. Why would you need to chill a chicken. Are these precooked, then quenched like a sword ?
