So you know how people will eat lamb and veil? Aka the baby versions of sheep and cows. Well with chickens, why do we only eat the eggs? Why are chicken nuggets made from ground up adult chickens and not young chickens? 🤔

I bring this up because where I am they are allowing companies to kill younger chickens. I think it was phrased in a way that implied more chickens could be killed and not necessarily about the age, but with what i read about the bird flu and how many chickens died from it, i doubt they have enough adult chickens too slaughter to fill the demand.

If you're wondering why I bring this up at all, its because my bf and I are really info buffalo wings, we get frozen ones to cook in the AirFryer all the time and they usually tasted amazing, perfect amount of fat, regular chicken size for the most part, and it felt and tasted like chicken with no real digestive problems.

However, nowadays the wings we've been getting are alarmingly small (these bags have a mix of wings and legs) and every piece had more fat than chicken. The flavor of the sauce tasted the same but the meat felt odd, unlike normal chicken, it makes your teeth feel weird, like oddly dry/squeeky/clean? Like its super hard to describe, and it doesnt matter if you cook it longer to the point where the outside has some char because the skin is so fatty it doesnt seem to get crispy. Like the meat doesnt even get dried out, it stays this weird slightly slimy texture, even when fully cooked.
I know its buffalo style, but buffalo sauce isnt that spicy, and doesnt usually cause me the pain that these wings were causing me after eating them this time. Like they made me go to the bathroom several times despite the meat being fully cooked. Its concerning.

Maybe this is why we dont eat young chickens. Or maybe the bird flu has something to do with it, though from what i read humans arent susceptible to it, but things like to evolve, and if bird flu can infect a cat to the point where some will die, I cant help but worry just a bit.

(Cats i think have to eat an infected bird to catch it, but dont quote me on that since i havent had a pet cat for awhile and this havent rechecked)
