I doubt they're a bargain. By the time you remove all those nasty
spines you'll be lucky to have 30 pounds left. And when chicken parts
are sold in bulk at low prices it's going to have a much higher bone
and fat to meat ratio than average priced chicken. And furthermore
those are the parts salvaged from cancerous chickens...
Trollish old man.
Just what do you think caused the glut of legs and thighs, breast
cancer.

Breasts are on sale just as often.

They're not from the same bird, dumb twat.

Sheldon says: "Any time legs and thighs are on sale, it means
there has been a rash of Breast Cancer in Chickens!!

There is always a rash of cancer in big brand poultry, from all the
hormones and other drugs they're fed.

And so what if it were true?

No if about it, it is true.

Think you can catch it?

Probably not, but that's not the point... normal brained folks (not
you) don't really want to eat salvaged parts from diseased animals...
and here there is a very easy choice, simply buy whole birds. And if
more people insisted on whole poultry there'd be far less steroids
contained in the poultry consumed. So in a round about way, yes, you
certainly can catch it... especially from those who consume excessive
quantities of mechanically separated fast food chicky... and that
means meats from Arbys, Subway, and all the rest of the compressed
poultry meat purveyers. You'd wretch if you watched the making of
chicken/turkey cold cuts... well, normal folks, not you.

It's not true that chickens are fed hormones. They have been banned for many years. And the government doesn't allow the use of steroids in poultry for growth. Besides it isn't necessary. Chickens grow fast enough and don't need it as opposed to beef that take months to achieve their slaughter weight. Other than being washed in possible filth, chickens are actually pretty chemically clean compared to other meat beasts. Not that their feed is organic but they don't add things to speed up their growth, only cut down on disease.
