Does a broken chicken wing or leg from a store bought chicken weird you out?

If I see a broken drumstick or wing, I usually toss it.
Seeing mutilated parts of a chicken make me wonder how it was killed or what happened thereafter.
Nonetheless, do you toss them out or cook them?

Toss it.
Dunno when it happened. Seems weird to me.
I agree.

Something substantial traumatized it enough to snap a bone. I guess I just don't trust ingesting foods that have obviously been mishandled. That's my answer, and I'm sticking to it.

I'm no hippie, but animals on those giant farms live a pretty shitty life. Broken bones or not, it's better to just not think about what goes on there and enjoy the meat. Just my 2 cents.

Can easily have been done with the machinery. Having been to these factories I can tell you there is nothing gentle about the process.

I just prefer to not think of my meat as formerly animals.
A friend told me once that when her kids were little and they would ask what they were having for dinner, and the reply was always "meat" with rice, potatoes, or whatever--never "chicken" or even "pork" or "beef" because then there would be questions about where it came from, and then somebody would get upset and not want to eat. It was always just "meat that came from the store". I always wondered how they ordered food when they went out to eat.
And yeah, the broken leg or wing does gross me out, especially if I don't realize it's broken until after I start eating it. Like the marrow is going to poison it or something.

Yeah at some plants the birds are going 140 birds minute. Thats flying down the line, not every bird makes it perfectly through. Pretty impressive to see, actually. From the back door on its way to the store in under 3 hours. And most of that time is in the cooling process.

Is that the industry you're in? I seem to remember you having a lot of first hand knowledge of it in another thread also.

Earthlings (documentary) on YouTube is a great place to start.

One of the reasons the factory farming industry will continue to get away with this is because so many people choose to ignore that it goes on.

I wasn't talking about slaughterhouses in general, but rather specifically the pieces with a suspect anomaly.

Gotcha.
I still encourage you to educate yourself about really goes on in the places that you get your meat from. You may be surprised, or may not.

Oh yeah, there are horror stories out there. I've read interviews with people who've worked in these places that for instance, know that the cows are still alive and well aware of what's going on as they're being sawed to death. One person recounted a time where a cow that hadn't been killed yet, got its leg stuck in a conveyor belt. They simply sawed off the leg with complete disregard for the animal. Other stories would turn some people into vegetarians if they only knew, so I do agree with you that a lot of folks really don't know about the process.
Even in Anthony Bourdain's Louisiana episode, you could tell he had reservations (pun intended) about actually killing a pig, even though he's cooked tens of thousands of animals. I found that sort of ironic.

I'm aware of it, but honestly until I graduate I don't think I could afford to not buy the big-name, supermarket brands. Also I don't know where to go in Lake Charles that even sells non-factory meat. When I graduate and get out of here in May I intend on buying locally sourced ingredients as often as I can.

My suggestion would be to eat less meat but when you do have it, have the higher quality that may cost more. Look at your local farmers markets and see how their pricing is (I've never bought meat from there so I wouldn't know).

I give them raw to my neighbor's non-stop barking mutt.
