Tastes like "chicken"
Source: Fast Company
Fast Company asks "Would you like that chicken breast cooked in our restaurant, or in a factory in Arkansas?" Subway's slogan may be Eat Fresh - but order something with Grilled Chicken and you'll get defrosted, precooked chicken strips that have been mechanically branded at a factory to look like they're hot off the grill. And just in case you still think it's OK to order it in a pinch...at the factory the heretofore "chicken" is submerged in hearty brew of salt, oil, sugar, chemicals, and fat before they pound them uniform size and brand them with "char." The factory provides "chicken" to 9 of the top 10 fast "food" joints dumping 2 billion pounds of cooked "chicken" per year. Run away. Run very far away.
