Do we really eat that much skin from non-bird animals? I guess pigs maybe, but only if you're into cracklins or pork rinds. You don't for fish or cows or lamb or goats, right?
Yeah, I was trying to come up with examples and couldn't think of any.
I definitely eat fish skin and the skin of chicken, turkey, duck. I guess also pork, but I can't think of any pork dishes with skin that I personally like.
Cleaned or washed... you're a goddamn riot. Do you know how many times (across brands) that I've opened a whole chicken and found feathers that weren't completely plucked? If they can't properly pluck the chicken, how well do you think they are cleaning it?
I've never seen a chicken feather in my chicken before (and really if I did, I don't expect I'd care much).
WTF? What's the difference between the skin and the rest of everything you eat?
You realize that the skin is a protective layer between the outside world and the meat, correct?
You think nothing "bad" gets under the skin?
