Chickity China, The Government Abuse Chicken

Not to be one to doubt the New York Times, but c’mon…


COLORADO SPRINGS — When a caterer working for the United States Olympic Committee went to a supermarket in China last year, he encountered a piece of chicken — half of a breast — that measured 14 inches. “Enough to feed a family of eight,” said Frank Puleo, a caterer from Staten Island who has traveled to China to handle food-related issues.

“We had it tested and it was so full of steroids that we never could have given it to athletes. They all would have tested positive.”

…14 inches? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Loyal peer-see readers in the Middle Kingdom…SHOW US YOUR BREASTS!

Take a picture of the chicken breasts available at your local poultry vendor. Let us know and we’ll post them here.

    14″ sounds possible to me based on the frozen boneless breasts we’ve been getting at the local Walmart. They come individually frozen in 3 pound bags, and lately there have been only FOUR to a bag, each about 3x the size of what I’ll call the “average,” KFC-sized chicken breast. Disconcerting, not to mention inconvenient in this household of 2 adults (one of whom’s nearly vegetarian).
