Newsflash: " Why chicken labels may be misleading "

 

WFAA-TV reports: " The United States is chicken crazy. We eat

nearly 90 pounds of chicken per person a year. Why? Because it's

relatively cheap, and we believe it's healthy and natural. But

that chicken you bought at the grocery store might not be what

the label leads you to believe. The government lets chicken

processors label their products '100 percent natural' even when

the meat includes added ingredients. "

Newsflash: " Meet the fakers "

 

The Associated Press reports: " A warm spring evening in American

suburbia, not long before dusk. Green lawns, well-kept houses,

SUVs parked in driveways. From a backyard gas grill comes the

enticing, smoky aroma of food cooking. Atop the fire: a mixed

grill - all manner of carnivorous delights. Look closer, though.

Those burgers, ribs, hot dogs and shish kebabs are, in reality,

'burgers,' 'ribs' and 'shish kebabs.' Or, more accurately,

'veggie burgers,' riblets,' 'Smart Dogs' and 'meatless skewers'

- painstaking imitations of the real thing, made of 100 percent

non-animal materials like seitan, tempeh and other downright

meatlike vegetable proteins. "
