Researcher Can Make All-White-Meat Chicken
AP - Daniel Fletcher has found a way to transform dark meat chicken into white, a scientific advance some purists say has gone too far.

He's not really changing dark meat to white meat, but processing the dark meat to separate out what makes it dark. The end product is "light" but certainly not "true" white meat. He's not changing the chemistry of the chicken, or making monsters out of the live birds. It's just another way to process out the true nutrition of real food and make it into something that resembles what people want. (Personally, I prefer dark meat, but many Americans prefer white.)

When food specialist Marion Nestle heard about Fletcher's work, she immediately compared the end product to imitation crab meat made from minced fish. "Surimi! This is chicken surimi! For the purpose of creating chicken-like objects ... yuck!" said Nestle, a food studies professor at New York University. |
