My impression is that overall, more people prefer white meat.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

WORD! It's all the extra bloody parts.
Actually, is that what makes dark meat dark? I have no idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Most definitely. I will be doing some shopping this weekend.
I'm generally not a fan of "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission" (so much so that I kept typing it the wrong way round) but when it comes to warmth I feel tempted to risk immolation as a first round tactic.
See, if I'm warm in it walking outside, I should be warm in it sitting at my desk. It's only fair.

Dark meat has more blood vessels. Birds that fly have all dark meat. Non-flying birds have white meat - some of them can fly, but only a short distance, as not enough blood makes it to the muscles for continuous flight.

I think meat:bone might be highest for breast, though I think the price difference between breasts and thighs is more than the meat % difference.
Eta: also, white meat has a greater tendency to be dry and tasteless, but people still want it. Because they're more sure it's really chicken and not pigeon or something? I don't know.

More fat, too. Mmmm.
Freezing rain suddenly is in tomorrow's forecast. And possible nor'easter this weekend.
I really hate winter.

I think that white meat has a lot more actual meat-meat than dark does--compare a chicken leg to a chicken breast. Even the thigh has less meat than the breast does.
I just had my review; a decent one, but the raise was piddling at best (1 1/2 percent). Everyone's jobs are on tenterhooks right now, so I'm not gonna complain.

Huh. I just got asked to sushi. But it's not the symbolic sushi crew.
Even the thigh has less meat than the breast does.
But does a thigh and a leg have less than a breast and a wing? Still--not enough to overcome the drop in flavour. I'll have to find a white meat lover and ask them why they're so weird.
