Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Like chicken?

I've been off chicken since my nasty experience with Campylobacter a year ago. Not rational I know, but I do not want to go through that hospital adventure again.


Chicken Is Not a Healthy Choice. Chicken products contain cholesterol, carcinogens, and contaminants


In retrospect, I don't think chicken was much more than a protein vehicle for the added flavors. Well, except for Southern Fried Chicken.

Over 15 years ago, two days before Christmas I picked up lunch at a well known national chicken chain. I as sick as a dog for several days. To this day, the thought of eating their chicken corn again makes me nauseous.

"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers" is a risky way to go through life, whether driving on the interstate, making investments, or buying fast food.

The resemblance of a foil-wrapped Chipotle burrito to an enormous suppository is a strong hint.

Still flogging the cholesterol, saturated fat nonsense...

If I had to choose only one meat for the rest of my life it would probably be chicken. I would give up steaks and pho for moo goo gai pan and kung pao. I would miss beef short ribs, but not while I was eating chicken gumbo or sauce piquant.

In Scotland scotch whisky is just called whisky. Is it the same thing with fried chicken? Because I've never heard anyone call it Southern fried chicken.

I like the way they make it in the South

Your link appears to be a vegan propaganda site.

I'd not consider chicken my favourite food, but that site is complete medical alarmism.

Interestingly the most deadly food/meal you can buy is salad. Kills the most people. The problem is that if it is contaminated in the field or the process line that since it stays raw it stays deadly. More deadly than gas station sushi.

Not surprising. Leave some lettuce or parsley in a plastic bag in the fridge for a few days and it turns to slime. That was enough to put me off any plastic-packaged greens sold anywhere.
