On a serious note (minus the link above) there was some discussion on a cable news channel within the past two months that stated women should limit themselves to the amount of chicken they eat per week due to "growth hormones" in the chicken that cause unwanted body hair such as on the face, etc. I don't know if it's true or not, however it was surprising to hear.
I've never heard about that. Mom and I have been eating chicken religiously since her heart attack in 1997 and haven't noticed a difference. Oh well, if it's true, then a little extra body hair is a small price to pay for the sake of a healthy heart.
I went off chicken a number of years ago after hearing what they pump into them - Apparently being cooped up in long factory farming warehouses with very little space to move has two effects. One, the strength of the egg and the ability of the yolk to remain intact weakens, hence they pump the chicken full of steriods to compensate for this. - broken eggs don't sell.
Two, with so many chickens all in one space means that disease can spread like wildfire through out the farm, so they pump them full of antibiotics as well. The fact they also give them growth hormone doesn't surprise me, nor does it make me want to eat chicken anymore.
I just wonder how much of this chemical cocktail we are ingesting just so the farmers are able keep their profit margins up? Organic and freerange reared chickens are the only poultry based products I will ever eat.

Haven't voluntary eaten fast food nor drank soda for about 2 years. When I do because of the circumstances, such as last May at Subway's, I limited myself to a 6-inch with bare minimum condiments. I'm not a dessert person either.
Ooooh I forgot to add this one to my list.... cheese and eggs, toast and hasbrowns (scattered, smothered, covered and peppered) from The Waffle House. *drools*
Hard to choose an absolute favourite but I'm a bit of a spice fan so probably my favourite meal would be chicken biryani. On the sweet front I'm a bit of a chocaholic and love soft chocolate ice cream scooped up with Maryland double choc cookies, mmmmm
Also my all time favourite flavour of crisps is back, probably won't mean a thing to anyone outside the UK but, Worcester sauce flavour - absolutely love em!!!

Speaking of breakfast. I like to make and cook from scratch really spicy Sausage and Cheesy Eggs breakfast sandwiches, which loads of pepper. Delicious!
There is nothing quite like a good aged venison with roast and mashed potatoes, snow peas, broccoli and finished with a gravy made from the juices..... followed by a cheese board of NZ cheeses... (drools over keyboard)
