Queens, I don't know about you ladies but I love me some chicken breast. I love it grilled, fried, smothered, you get the point. I love it because its lean and healthy. The perfect choice for low fat, high protein option. But what I am outdone about is, "chicken plumping."What is chicken plumping you may ask?
“Plumping” is the term used for the practice of injecting saltwater, chicken stock, seaweed extract or some combination thereof into chicken to increase its weight and price, meaning that when you buy a package of chicken you can be spending 15% more on SALT WATER. More importantly, a plumped chicken has up to 700% more sodium than a chicken that hasn’t been plumped. The result: hundreds of thousands of consumers are ponying up extra cash (about $1.50 per package of chicken) to unwittingly feed themselves and their friends and families a dangerously unhealthy amount of salt.
Foster Farms has created a website, SayNoToPlumping.com. Please go here and check it out for yourself. I think I will purchase Foster Farms from now on.
If I don't want fake boobs, what makes the food industry think I want a chicken with some?
