Cooking Healthy, ugh

One of my daughters is a fitness trainer / physical therapist all around health orientated person.
Recently hearing I was sick she suggested I take a dead chicken, yep, thats the term she used, put it in a stock pot and cook it till it falls apart. Then remove the bones, skin anything else unappetizing.
While I was washing it in the sink before cooking I noticed little brown things sliding out. On closer look it was the entrails. Thought I collected them all to dispose of. While I was filling the pot with the RO water I heard a strange noise, a ticking of sort. I looked in the other sink and there was a little heart laying on the rubber things covering the garbage disposer. Something was dripping and sounded like ( The Tell Tale Heart).
I used to spend Thanksgiving morning when my children were small washing, oiling, salting that turkey carcass, gaging til I got it into the oven.
I'm going back to chicken breasts.

 

How cool is that? Why can't I ever be that lucky? LOL

 

Agreed, they take everything out and sell it separately up here, I like to fry up a bit of liver while waiting for the bird to cook.

 

It was undoubtedly my imagination gone amuck Think I was destined to be vegetarian.

 

It was thought at one time liver was a blood builder, a good source of iron, now they have decided it's toxic.
I used to try to feed it to my kids once in a while. I dipped it in flour, put bacon with it, onions too, served it with ketchup to disguise it. No go, they would come to the table, take a look and whine, "what did we do"?

 

Yikes! That recipe would put any one off uke

Reckon we'll need to start posting some healthy recipes in our RECIPE thread for ya

 

Given the function it fills in a living animal, that's not the least bit surprising. I don't eat kidneys either, for the same reason.

I do clean and eat chicken and fish though, and I actually prefer having bits of entrails in either because it's very easy to see from them how fresh the fish or chicken is.

 

Back in the 60's I think the food pyramid had 12 food groups rolleyes

 

Now I threw up in my mouth, LOL
