9. I wouldn't eat them

Wed Sep 4, 2013, 02:01 PM

Sep 2013

in the first place, no matter where they are made. That's a disgusting food item, right there, and I've willingly eaten pork rinds before. If you are going to eat chicken, eat recognizable chicken or cook it yourself. Don't eat shit that has to be labeled as a "food item" in order to be recognized as food. "Fried processed chicken food item". If you have to inform me that it is food, it really isn't.
