Chicken companies spent decades breeding birds to grow rapidly and develop large breast muscles. Now the industry is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to deal with the consequences ranging from squishy fillets known as “spaghetti meat,” because they pull apart easily, to leathery ones known as “woody breast.”
The abnormalities pose no food safety risk, researchers and industry officials say. They are suspected side effects of genetic selection that now allows meat companies to raise a 6.3-pound bird in 47 days, roughly...
Yuck.
Once we can’t raise enough feed because of the green new deal this will be our reality.
Yuk, no more chicken for me.
I wish I could un-read the term 'woody breast'
Yes. I can’t use it anymore! Too leathery. It’s gross. I buy all my chicken from Wegman’s. Glad to hear it wasn’t just me!!!!
Please no brexitshambles
'Spaghetti Meat and Woody Breast' sounds like the name of some porn satire.
My dog eats chicken...some she will turn her nose away...some she likes....her favorite is Tyson with no antibiotics. I only eat what she chooses.
💯
This is disgusting. Yet another reason to switch to a plant based diet.
Just lost my appetite 🤮
Was just saying that chicken breasts have become ridiculously tough. We have stopped buying as much and are using other meats/meatless options.
Go Vegetarian ! 🍎🥥🍉🍍🍋🍓🥕🍅🥜
There’s only a few outlets for real food in the US now. The rest are just an amoral profit making machine regardless of the consequences & how many they will harm.
And they’re so freakishly large Idk how a chicken like that walks upright

Priced per pound
Gardein brand makes excellent ‘chicken’ products that are neither squishy or tough, they taste great, and don’t harm any of our feathered friends!
That cannot be healthy to eat either
Gross..just eat better quality meat fewer times a week
It's too foolish to manipulate nature for the sake of profit....
Gross
