What is it with "fillet" chicken at some of the chain restaurants...such as the fillet chicken at Sizzler's or the pieces of fillet chicken at the MK restaurants? The chicken has a strange texture and doesn't have a chicken taste... hard to explain. I realize the chicken is processed at some factory but I wonder if the chicken is so pumped up with growth hormones that it creates a substance that is like eating dog meat. Has anyone else run into this? (Note: chicken that is on the "bone" doesn't have this strange meat)

If you start growing tits after eating there then it is a possibility !

but seriously i have read where it is alledged the amount of antibiotics used in caged chicken factories are one of the reasons that many anti-biotics are loosing their effectivness. I understand that there are more factors involved in why many diseases are becoming immune to antibiotics but what they feed to chickens gets passed down the food chain onto the consumer.

Also the use of growth hormones makes the use of caged chicken factories chicken shit unsuitable for manures for use in composting or vegetables/plant growing .

Cheap chicken is often injected with polyphosphates and then placed in water. The polyphosphates suck up the water, leaving a strange, spongy textured meat. Water is cheaper than chicken, so the producer makes a quick profit.
