I started thinking about all those parts in bags and I just can not stand to buy a bag of boneless skinless meat blech<br />I don't know, I think we are too damn lazy and much too fat to buy chicken cut up in bags for our convenience. I mean if you raise a bird, chase that thing, take care of it, water it, talk to it and truly care for it then I think you have burned off the calories and have earned your dinner. If you roll up in your fat cart and grab a bag of easy chicken and some french fries to microwave I think you might need a reality check and some duct tape. You is being used as a generalization I DON'T mean you :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013152465802223976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688876477955108247.post-88777191505162106052010-05-18T18:30:11.514-05:002010-05-18T18:30:11.514-05:00No prob!
