The funny thing about that remark is that "meat" as defined by the USDA does 
not include poultry.  They have one set of regulations for "meat" (pork, 
lamb, beef, etc) and another for poultry.  Lucky for me, the poultry 
regulations aren't as cumbersome.

Exactly:  create your own audience.  One should not be concerned that 
most will eat at McDonald's when thinking about opening a restaurant...

all this chicken talk left me hungry... :P

Water (+ gunk) is often added to chicken breasts to make them heavier.

Wow.  It's kind of sad when you feel like you need an ingredients label on 
something as simple as a chicken breast.

We grew-out a chicken to 10 lbs (dressed weight) last year, just by letting 
it live a couple extra weeks.  The breast on it was HUGE.  It took us 
several more dinners and lunches to finish it off.  :-)

I stock at Wal-Mart at night (supplements my military pension), and I 
have quite a bit to say about the labeling.

I am firmly convinced that the laws should prohibit any plant or animal 
being named on the front of the packaging if there is any artificial 
flavorings added.  It shouldn't say "orange" if the flavor does not come 
from an actual orange.  Ditto for "grape," "root beer," and "crab."

The other night I was stocking the dairy section.  One item I stocked 
bore the words, "Natural Vanilla Soy Milk."  I was thinking, "Uh, no, if 
you squeeze a soybean, vanilla milk does not come out."

We also stock "natural" Colby/Monterey Jack cheese.  I had not known 
that two different kinds of cheese naturally formed in one batch.

Regards,
John

   I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".
